Received this movie pamplet a couple of days ago. Exclusively at
cathay cineplex orchard 20 Jan. Read the synopsis and it sounds
pretty interesting.
but i can't watch.
It was a sold out hit
at the Toronto International Film Festival 2003.
Synopsis:
A poor girl, a rich stud, a college student and a male model,
nothing in common except the desire to experience true intimacy.
Their stories unfold and overlap as each becomes victim to their
own sexual dependencies, self-perceptions and illusions.
The film explores the rituals, and conflicts of a poor,
Bolivian-born girl, a rich, young stud leaving Santa Cruz for
university in New York, a Colombian boy visitng his cousins in
Bolivia, a black female college student in New York and a
model/football player at the same University.
Thematically structured around the issues of feminity, masculinity,
virginity, rape and sexuality, the five stories draw upon each
other as each character struggles to make sense of their own
identity. With nothing in common except the desire to experience
true intimacy, their stories are woven together through an
underwear ad campaign, representing everything they feel they are
supposed to be and everything they feel they are not. Their lives
unfold and overlap as each becomes victim to their own sexual
dependencies.
From respected director Rodrigo Bellott, comes a teen drama
exploring the universal qualities inherent in our experiences,
where differences is the most often assumed.
