The marketing for the film would have you believe it is a coming of age story about a 14 year girl. Not the case. Most of the film centers on a young Latin man exploring his homosexuality. The sub plot is about the mysterious virgin birth of the girl seen on all the posters. The film kind of works. The locations are beautiful and used well. There is some awful acting by supporting players but the leads are generally good. Some faulty dialog and amateur camera work lend this film a very low budget feel. I'm guessing the filmmakers are gay and wanted to tell their story but knew it would be harder to get the film made if they pitched and marketed it that way.
