This is the second movie from Francisco Athie that I have watched. I didn't do it because it was from him (FIBRA OPTICA), but for the great cast he has in it.

1 Lucha Villa as the middle-low class mother, struggling to keep her kids afloat
2 Alicia Montoya as the greedy loan lady in the neighborhood
3 Damián Alcázar as the corrupt policeman, related to Lolo
4 Roberto Sosa as Lolo, whose love to his mother made him make a mistake

Roberto Sosa, with an appearance like his, ends always in this kind of movies. This one is a very interesting one, because portrays almost like a mirror, the lives and troubles of the less fortunate. Victims of circumstances. It's not an excuse, hunger and lack of opportunities is not a good combination... make people do crazy stuff...

Lolo a gang member living near the big city, is desperate to find imself, the film shows a cruel reality for to many mexican youth people and the way the system push them to the edge.
