Sin Destino (2005)

Director Leopoldo Laborde beautifully captures the troubling world of a young street hustler in Mexico City with the drama SIN DESTINO. Admittedly inspired by the Luis Buñuel film LOS OLVIDADOS, Laborde's movie revolves around a 15-year-old boy named Fran. Between selling his body to men, and being pressured to have sex with women, Fran finds himself growing more sexually confused by the day. Depending on cocaine for some relief, Fran later becomes infatuated with a lovely blonde girl, only to be pursued once more by the man he first slept with. Shot mostly in black and white, SIN DESTINO explores the complicated lives of Mexico City's desperate youth.
