In the summer before they are due to start at university, two friends – one from a wealthy, powerful family and the other from more humble origins – take a road trip with a sexy twenty-something Spanish woman, who has just received two pieces of bad news, spending their days and nights having sex, smoking weed, and getting drunk, in Cuarón’s socially conscious coming-of-age tale, a gently funny and quietly devastating work.
