CGiii Comment

Kevin, a country boy from the remote mountains of Oaxaca, is confused when his companion Aurelio flings a machete at his feet. He never learned that this is an old mountain tradition indicating one man’s interest in another. Not knowing what to do, he abruptly leaves his village and heads blindly for the coast. By mistake, he finds himself in playa Zipolite, encountering for the first time both casual nudity and handsome Cuauhtémoc, a famous fashion photographer from the big city.
