a slow movie with no psychological depth . there be a few story line and none of them really relate and except that they all take place in a small neighborhood of mexico city . the acting be telenovela quality and so be the plot . none of the actor motivation be evenly remotely hint at . why be ( alma ) hayek intrigue by the pimp . why do she go back to him after say she would not . what wrong with abel that he madly obsess with her . how have susanah manage to be single her whole life . how have rutilio manage to be gay and be a married man for so long . can we have some character development . what be the rutilio son explanation for go into a murderous rage . an uninspiring bore that not even the beauty of hayek can save .
