Two teenagers behold the abyss of poverty, domestic violence, social issues and life in the dark corners of Mexico City. We get to see the abyss through the eyes and actions of the characters and the recurrent question: "Is there any other way to survive?". There are many moments in which different metaphors based on details, conversations and objects make their way into the film to create an atmosphere that goes beyond what is presented. Some of those metaphors fail to complement the main story and actually in a certain point we might stop paying attention to the plot of the movie. However, it gets the jobe done in building the entire context, in making you feel scared and anxious when an intense scene appears.
