💊 "¿QUIÉN PODRÍA OLVIDAR A LA GENERACIÓN S.O.S.?"
SINOPSIS: Elvira y Florencia son primas que viven bajo la actitud moralista y atosigante de sus padres. Las dr**as, los tríos y la hipocresía los conducirán hasta Mau. Es posible que el trío nunca encuentre sus convicciones. Contada desde una perspectiva artística que involucra la obra más profunda de Egon Schiele, en particular la serie 'La Madre Mu**ta'; y filmado con la videocámara Canon XL-1, la cámara a bordo de la misión espacial STS-93 de la NASA, este es un recordatorio amoroso de las experiencias de los adolescentes en el turbulento México de 1999.
