This 1991, low budget film, takes place during the year of 1968, when the Summer Olympic games were played in Mexico City. There were no connections from one scene to the other and the movie goes nowhere. I give it credit for the accuracy of the objects of the time it portrays, like the song "Eight Days a Week" by The Beatles, the use of long-playing albums and cassettes to listen to music, the rotary phones, the clothing, and furniture of the period. All that was accurate and a reminder of the late 1960's, early 70's. I also give the film credit for its realistic sex scenes which included full-frontal nudity, rarely seen, for these type of movies, in the United States. I didn't mind having seen the film, because it was only 1 hour and 26 minutes long, and I don't get to see too many Spanish speaking films in the USA, but I would not recommend it as "great entertainment."

Its the history of an apartment if I remember well, its starts on the 50's and up to the 80's.

Many histories get involved on the apartment, if you are lucky and have the chance to watch it, go on.

This movie is very important for the Mexican film industry because it features members from three of the best all time Mexican Rock bands ever, Legendary band (and original lineup) Caifanes, Ska sensation Maldita Vecindad and the dark alternative rock band Santa Sabina (my favorite Mexican band ever who was in that year emerging from the shadows as a new hot act). The story kind of reminds me to the movie Singles (but Ciudad de Ciegos came first), because its about the relationships of young kids and it pictures the musical local scene too.
