AÑO UÑA chronicles the impossible romance between Molly, a twenty-one year old American, and Diego, a Mexican in the throes of puberty. Molly travels to Mexico where she rents a room in Diego's house. A close relationship immediately develops between the two. Diego, who had previously been consumed by desire for his cousin, Emilia, redirects his obsession after Molly arrives. Molly enjoys Diego's flirtations, finding the attention and respect missing from her relationships with boyfriends back in the U.S. The relationship continues to grow until Molly returns to New York. Diego decides to run away and win her heart.

It is an interesting approach, telling a cinematic story entirely through photographic stills. This provides pauses so that the accompanying dialogue and thoughts of the characters have some singularity. The enigmatic preface to the film (I won't disclose it) lends other dimensions, almost like make-your-own-adventure, at least speculatively. I was, at least, intrigued. A good story, well told.

The film has an alluring quality. At first it takes time to adjust to stills, but the story line is very good and you soon appreciate its concept.
No pos wow! I really enjoyed this film. It was so good, I totally forgot that this film was assembled with still shots.
good movie
