Synopsis

1986: Carlos arrives late for his father's funeral in Mexico City. He is greeted by Rosales, a former schoolmate. As Rosales is giving Carlos a lift, they talk about old times. The rest of the film is chiefly a flashback to 1948, with occasional brief scenes between Carlos and Rosales in the car in 1986.
1948: the young Carlos lives with his mother, father, sisters, and teenage brother Héctor (mid-way through the film, Héctor is caught in bed with the family's maid, who is summarily fired). His father owns a factory, but Carlos' mother complains that they don't have enough money to send Carlos to an "exclusive" school. The school he attends includes some "lower" class children, including Rosales, with whom Carlos gets into a fight at recess one day.

Awards: 1987: Ariel Awards: 8 Awards including Best Film and Director. 12 Nominations
