Lack of good storyline.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I do not know the director before, but if he follows this kind of movie he is going to fight head to head with Ed Wood as the worst film-maker in history.I am really interested in Mexican cinema and they have very good directors, but in this one the direction, the acting, the plot, the camera and the cinematography looks like an amateur film.There is no logic in the film. If he intends to show a double morality in Mexican society the story is just awful and does not reaches the minimum level of quality that a movie deserves in our times.It deserves to being watched just as we see Ed Wood's films: Just to think; can anybody do worst than this?

In this modern Mexican crime drama, two handsome young private detectives are hired to investigate some possible criminal goings-on at a large estate owned by a wealthy widow by the name of Dona Josefina. There's one catch, however; Dona Josefina is very "open minded", and so her guests are artistic, decadent, and homosexual. In order to get an invitation, our two investigators must pretend to be gay! This of course is the most difficult thing they could ever do, as it is the polar opposite of everything these macho men are about. In spite of this seemingly impossible obstacle, they agree to go undercover as a gay couple and are welcomed by Dona Josefina with open arms.As she charms them, they try to charm her back while at the same time search the estate for any criminal evidence. Troubling questions about men, women, and sexual identity start to confuse things...Mexico's openly gay filmmaker Jaime Humberto Hermosillo often explores issues related to sexuality in his films. He also injects black humor into his stories. In this movie, it is apparent that Mexican society is quite homophobic, perhaps more so than in the United States. The title of this movie, translated into English, reads 'the mystery of the almond trees'.
