Set in Jakarta’s upper-middle-class milieu, the film tells the story of three young and stylish female friends, Lisa, Fanny, and Sandra. After a violent break-up with her boyfriend Jacky, Lisa gets involved in a same-sex relationship with Mirna, an older woman. When things go awry between the two, Lisa decides to go back to Jacky. In a fit of jealousy, Mirna attempts to kill Lisa, but luckily her friend Fanny saves the day. The film ends in highly dramatic fashion with Mirna stabbing Jacky to death and subsequently being sent to prison

While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
This coming-of-age Mexican movie is about a group of school children who fulfill their dreams.
