Daily life in Guatemala becomes all the more challenging if you are poor, not terribly light skinned and gay. Opportunities to make it, find love and a good job can be borderline impossible. Such is the reality in which the film\u2019s protagonist grew up. 19-year-old Jos\u00e9 (the exceptional Enrique Salanic) lives with his single mother (Ana Cecilia Mota) in a poor, Guatemala City neighborhood. He makes a living selling food to drivers in passing cars by a workers\u2019 restaurant where he works. Secretly, he hooks up regularly with a variety of men, that is until one encounter changes everything. Luis (Manolo Herrera) is a construction worker who has come from the countryside to the big city. The two begin a passionate affair. Jos\u00e9 must now choose between his love for Luis or a life at home with his conservative mother.<\/p>\n

This is the first Guatemalan film to have won the prestigious Venice Film Festival prize<\/strong>. Director Li Cheng brings to the big screen an original, unique point-of-view on a country where films are hardly ever made.<\/p>\n
