This Mexican film centres around Roman and Maru. Roman is the son of a rich politician who is in a state of constant rebellion. Maru is a misfit from a single parent family who doesn't feel that anyone sees life as she does. The pair collide at school and decide to run away. In an elaborate ruse the pair pretend to abscond whilst living on in a tent on Roman's roof. Its a coming of age story about 2 teens rebelling against society in different ways and for differing reasons. When Roman's fatalism pushes them apart, Maru comes to realise that this isn't what she wants and everything begins to unwind with disastrous consequences.
This is well acted and well scripted. It's limited in scope and ambition but is a very enjoyable film.
7/10
