Deseo
2013 · 97 min · Director: Antonio Zavala Kugler, Antonio Zavala Kugler
Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)
From a casual encounter between a teenage prostitute and a sailor, we will follow a chain of relationships between archetypal characters representing the different strata of society polarized in Mexico, where sexual desire, due to class, state and racial prejudice, will never develop in love. Although perhaps someone could break the invisible barrier and come to the feeling of what we all desire.
