synopsis
This Mexican satire of international movies offers a film within a film, an ending before the beginning, and a social message. The first part of the movie centers around actors in an artsy setting discussing AIDS in unintelligible English. The film's trick is that the viewer doesn't realize that the dreadful first part is really part of the art film the director is making which is being filmed by the real director who is making fun of his earlier films.
