Duck Season (Temporada de patos) (R)
synopsis
Flama and Moko are 14 years old and have been best friends since they were kids. They have everything they need to survive yet another boring Sunday: an apartment without parents, videogames, porn magazines, soft drinks and pizza delivery. Yet, there are forces that conspire to disrupt their serene existence -- namely, the electricity company; Rita, the neighbor; Ulises, the pizza deliveryman; eleven seconds, the Real Madrid-Manchester game; some chocolate brownies; and a horrible painting of ducks. As a result, they must face such issues as divorce, loneliness, the confusion between adolescent love and friendship and frustration in adult life.

MovieGoer Review
Set in gritty Mexico City, this is a kinder, gentler version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off without any car chases. This slice-of-youth black-and-white intimate film should get young writer/director Fernando Eimbcke noticed.
