This movie is not about an abortion!

The other summary written here is totally incorrect.

This movie is about a group of teenage friends that get involved in the early pregnancy of one of them. Paloma meets Arturo, they fall in love and on a mountain trip she gets pregnant.

Basically the movie discusses, very lightly, the consequences of getting in these kind of situations while being too young. But it is also a comedy only because of Paloma's and Arturo's friends trying to keep the baby a secret from their families. I saw this movie when I was a teenager and I loved it, I still do. You can learn so much from the story and, by the way, SPOILER ALERT, there's not an abortion in this film.

From my perspective, this movie is about loyalty,responsibility, love, friendship and life. Are you willing to go this far for your friends?
