The events in this film take place in latin America. They look at the man-woman relationships using a succession of testimonies collected in different interviews which wew carried out by talking to a wide range of different kinds of people taking into account their habits, customs: 15th birthday party, weddings, etc., anything which could be considered as an initiation rite, an entrance into society or a devotion towards social status.
This leads us to the old argument over "machismo". It doesn't of course, mean that the film is trying to give a solution to nor encourage debate on the problem. however, it seemed important to demonstrate that hthis problem is fed by compicity and existing moral codes. The most naive memories found in the Romanticism latent in the Latin-American man have permitted this film to tell its story naturally, without havinf to resort to the artificial. The result is a certain humour and irony. The film doesn't therefore, have the cold schematical approach of an inquest on the "macho". the facts presented can be found in any Latin-American country and are not exclusive to Costa Rica- Who knows it the situation doesn't also exist, in one form or another, in European countries.
