19-year-old Jos\u00e9 and his doting mother lead impoverished, working class lives in Guatemala City. They keep themselves afloat with small jobs, selling sandwiches illegally and dashing around the city delivering food to drivers. While his mother devotes all her free time to church, Jos\u00e9 spends his arranging secret meetings on dating apps. That is, until he meets Luis, a construction worker who makes him question and self-reflect on the quiet suffering he has been enduring all his life.<\/p>\n

As Jos\u00e9 discovers a world far more tender and passionate than the culture of violence, sexism and homophobia he has been brought up in, Jos\u00e9 carefully portrays the clash between a new generation\u2019s evolving attitudes and the traditional culture and beliefs so deeply embedded in Guatemalan society.<\/p>\n
