Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001)

Julio and Tenoch: The Manifesto:
1) There's no greater honor than being a Charolastra
2) Do whatever you feel like
3) Pop beats poetry
4) Get high at least once a day
5) You shall not screw a fellow charolastra's girlfriend
6) Team America's supporters are queers
7) Forget morals and rules
8) Never marry a virgin
9) Club America's supporters are....
Luisia: You have already said that
Tenoch: It's worth repeating. They are queers. Crappy team
10) Truth is cool but is unattainable
11) The arsehole who breaks any of the above rules loses his title of Charolastra

A quiz in a magazine Luisia (Maribel Verdu) picked up while at the doctor's describes her as a woman who is afraid to accept her freedom. She doesn't agree and looks for an escape from her troubled married life. She calls up her husband's young cousin Tenoch (Diego Luna) and his friend Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) to see if their invitation to a fictitious beach, The Heaven's Mouth, still stands. And thus, they embark on a spontaneous road trip which would teach them so much about friendship and freedom.

On the way, both Julio and Tenoch end up in bed with Luisia and this leads to a burning jealousy that threatens to come in the way of their friendship. Frustrated by this, Luisia starts to leave and remarks, "Play with babies and you end up washing their nappies". Finally she agrees to come back on the condition that the  "kids" will have to play by her rules and she makes the new Manifesto. And while continuing their trip, they do come across the illusive Heaven's Mouth.

Alfonso Cuaron does a good job portraying the three different characters while they keep telling stories to each other. Maribel Verdu does a fine act while playing the once-restrained-now-free-spirited woman.  The narrator keeps telling us about what the future holds for each character that we come across. They all have one thing in common. Things in the future will never be the same again. Wouldn't want to spoil the ending for you, but it's something that will surely haunt you for some time.
