Six youngish people with no particular history - we follow their "stories" severally - wander around the city aimlessly for twenty-four hours or so, every now and then running into one another. (In two cases they literally run into one another, which may have been a joke, although I'm not sure the pun would make sense in Spanish.) This film isn't quite as mind-numbingly tedious as its closest Australian equivalent, "City Loop", because the characters are not completely gormless and unpleasant, and the dialogue, considered in itself, is actually rather good, even in subtitled form. There's even something that makes it worth watching: a funny joke one of the characters tells about ten minutes in, in a delightfully abstract way, as if she doesn't realise it's a joke at all. Since it's the best thing in the film I won't give away the punchline. Besides, you'll want to tell it to your friends; they won't have seen the film, so you'll be safe.
Someone should do a study, to see if people who make this kind of pointless movie in order to learn the mechanics of film-making actually go on to make worthwhile films. I suspect not. The lack of creativity is a bit too desperate. Of all the films of this type I've seen this one has the most unmotivated and abrupt ending, as if the director, like the audience, had thought the 72-minute mark would never arrive and was only too eager to call it a day when it did.
