Julio and Tenoch are two teens ruled by raging hormones and a mission to consume exotic substances. But one summer, the boys learn more about life than they bargain for when they set off on a wild, cross-country road trip with seductive, 28-year-old Luisa. Both boys taste forbidden fruit as Luisa schools them in the finer points of passion, but will their mutual desire for her destroy their friendship forever? (official distributor synopsis)

And Your Mother Too is a beautifully open and honest film about friendship, sex and life, with unusually authentic, enjoyable and properly steamy eroticism, shockingly great acting performances, especially by the two young guys, and a generally brilliant portrayal of the characters’ psychology. I found the sad epilogue a bit contradictory – on the one hand, it added a deeper dimension to what had happened before (and deeply affected me), but on the other hand, it wasn’t necessary for the great impression that the film makes and basically only upset its positive mood and lust for life.

Whoever didn’t dream about something similar when they were seventeen must have been living their lives wrong. Only in this country you need to replace the sea with a fishpond. The result could still be… similar.
