Inspired by Luis Bunuel"s Los Olvidados, Mexican writer-director Leopoldo Laborde"s haunting, engrossing film shows Mexico City at its darkest. Fifteen-year-old Frank (Francisco Rey) sells his body to men to survive, but still can"t afford his own drug habit. His best friend (and dealer) David (David Valdez) helps him out with "loans" and offers advise on how to bed a woman, something the young gay hustler knows nothing about. Frank"s obsession with the pretty blonde Angelica (Mariana Gaja) blossoms, but when an older man from Frank"s past (Roberto Cobo, Los Olvidados, A Place Without Limits ) turns up again, the young boy becomes even more sexually confused...and fierce. Shot primarily in startling black and white, Sin Destino offers a shocking, devastating glimpse into the heart and soul of young, impressionable boys who long for a better life.
