“Do your parents know?”
Something terrible is happening in class 3A at Calmecatl Junior High. No one can leave the classroom until the guilty party is found. This is the device that gives us a glimpse of the ethics, games, esthetics and eroticism of these girl-women. It is not easy to say what the subject is, there are so many: the discovery of sexuality, discrimination, chance, drugs, maternity, traditions, betrayals, power, love. A mural of a complex reality from the point of view of twenty-something women in the skin of 14 to 15 year old girls.
This film traps you in a suffocating classroom, forcing an uncomfortable intimacy with adolescent girls navigating treacherous waters of desire, power, and self-discovery. It's a raw, unflinching look at burgeoning womanhood under intense pressure.
