Briefly covers the summer that exchange student. Norberto came to town. Local kid Jamie is obsessed with Norberto, and wants Norberto's host family to get sick and die so Norbert could come stay with him and they'd stay up all night drinking soda. Whenever Jamie gets a soda for Norberto he backwashes into it so he can be closers to Norberto without him knowing it. By the end of the summer Jamie, Norberto, and the two bullies had all drunk a lot of soda and worked on their breakdancing skills.
This movie leaned really hard into the sexual nature of drinking soda, but wasn't effective at all. I think I disliked the film because of the silly acting, ridiculous dancing, and overt sexualisation of drinking soda pop. There's some reality to unrequited childhood crushes, and there was some authenticity to the depersonalisation of Norberto, who had absolutely no characteristic besides being Spanish and having an adam's apple, but honestly this was just an uncompelling mess. The best thing going for this film is that it was under eight minutes.
