Great movie in any language, this is really the story of a father and his daughter. Lionel and his daughter Josephine, are inseparable and have been for years. Lionel is very protective of his daughter, but despite his overly protective nature, he allows her to date Noe, and carries an ambivalence towards the young man.
At a party for a friend of his that is retiring Lionel declines the 35 shots of rum he is traditionally supposed to drink for his friend. He doesn't perceive this as a celebration. Instead he sees the demise of his friend come to soon after retirement. Lionel is concerned about both himself and his daughter, and their future. I won't let on too much, but if you can read subtitles rent this movie. If you can't read subtitles you're either slow or dyslexic so either you won't enjoy the movie or you'll be reading it backwards and banging heads with the person next to you.
