This is basically a gay porn movie, with a vague storyline to bind the various sex-scenes together. This story (a guy coming to the big City of Mexico City, hoping to extend his sexual limits), combined with (intended) appropriate music and (intended) profound and poetical written texts between the scenes, apparently serves to upgrade this porn movie to a slightly more main stream level.
To me that purpose didn't work. The story is wafer-thin, next to non-existent, the written texts are pretentious, and nice music alone doesn't make for a good movie. It didn't help either that main character Hector is hardly attractive to watch (not unimportant in such a sexual movie), nor are his sex-partners: all big, hairy and beefy (but that's of course a matter of personal taste).
I have nothing against porn, but I don't need it disguised as art-house. Either make a solid porn flick, or make a movie that combines realistic sexual content with a serious involving story. But this poor excuse is neither.
