Storyline:

User review:

César Kancino is Nacho, a 13-year-old boy trying to make his way through life. He lives with his traffic cop mother and a stepfather (Enrique Arreola) who sells bootleg pornography at a market stall. One day, Nacho sets his eyes on the beautiful Mayra (Daniela Arce) and he’s smitten. But there’s a problem: she’s the daughter of crime boss Diabla (Veronica Falcón).

Diabla, who favours the snake Brayan (Kristyan Ferrer) to her daughter, doesn’t want Mayra to have anything to do with such a lowly boy. And Nacho’s family gives him the boot over a camera he snags during a police raid, leaving him on the streets with nothing but the support of his 27-year-old bestie Cacayo (Héctor Jiménez) and his beloved Mayra to rely on.

The adults of Sugar Kisses are essentially reprehensible, with the exception of Cacayo. He’s the type of man who paints over the nudity in pinup posters because he wants to protect them from sin. He offers timid shelter for Nacho and is legitimately hurt when his young friend ditches him for the girl. And his unsophisticated advice on how to make love to a woman is naïve in the best of ways.
