An erotic model has three lovers, one of them is the father of her child. Which of the three will be?

Two single women share an apartment, work together, and sometimes swap boyfriends. None of their romantic attachments seem quite as stable or enduring as their friendship.

After having his genitals brutally mutilated during childhood, a man must face prejudice and himself.

Before time was time a fierce battle began between the first beings of the universe. Lucifer and an army of fallen angels rebelled against the Creator and began the longest and most terrible of wars. The war of heaven affects the human race, and the angels watch with despair as humans fall to the temptations of power and evil that Lucifer offers. The final battle is near, and this time there will be no truce. Both armies rely on an ancient prophecy that could end the war, when the chosen one, a kid half human half angel recovers the fire sword and gives the victory to one of them. The end of the world its near.

When a worker is found murdered on the construction side, the investigation swiftly turns from things criminal to the political circumstances surrounding the building itself. Widespread corruption and neglect by the builder himself are seen to have brought the situation about. Much of the movie is filmed using hand-held cameras, and the majority of the dialogue is in the difficult-to-understand and very slangy Spanish dialect of Mexico City's bricklayers.

Sebastian and Valeria are about to get married. Everything seems perfect but a woman tries to seduce Sebastian while Valeria is pregnant.

And I was so surprised at how well Joseph Conrad works in a MexicCity setting. I noticed that there were no comments on this movie so far, and, since I liked it a lot when I saw it around 15 years ago (it's 2006 now)I want to draw people's attention to it. I can't go into much detail about it after that long a time. It's an understated but fascinating story of the relationship between the two women (the mother of the guy who ran off to sea years earlier and has never come back) and her co-worker in a large office. The younger woman becomes interested, even romantically, in him just from hearing about him, and you, the audience, do, too. Then when he suddenly appears one day, both she and you are in for having your romantic illusions shattered. I was very struck by the last visuals, involving scenes from the ocean, apparently invading a Mexico City apartment. I found on the web that the English title was Shipwreck (though I don't recall that title), and that it was based on Conrad's short story: Tomorrow, which I must try to find and read. I hope my comments will inspire others to find this affecting "little" movie. Note to IMDb: Could "Shipwrecked" be added as an alternative title, or cross reference?
