Description
A teenager in small town Mexico struggles to fix the family car in the aftermath of a minor accident and amid deeper emotional undercurrents in Lake Tahoe (Mexico 2008, SFIFF 2009), the latest film by Mexican director Fernando Eimbcke.

Itʼs morning in a small seaside town in Mexico, and teenager Juan has just driven his familyʼs humble sedan into a light pole on an empty street. As he sets off on foot to seek help, the immobilized car becomes a vehicle for delivering Juan into the hands of a cast of local characters and their small but significant routines. His interactions with a paranoid old mechanic devoted to his pet dog, a young mother with dreams of punk rock stardom and a teenage mechanic obsessed with kung fu glow with a droll observational humor. As Juan is drawn into their lives and more information about a loss at the center of his family is revealed, the film's emotional undercurrent deepens considerably.
