Trivia: The film is an allegory for Mexican history and Latin-American identity. Characters' names are taken directly from pivotal figures and places in Mexican history.
Trivia: According to the main characters in the film, the name for their particular group of friends, "Charolastras," came from a misunderstanding and bad pronunciation of the lyrics to the Clash song "Should I stay or should I go."
Continuity mistake: The movie takes place in the summertime - we know this from the boys just having graduated, their girls going off to Europe, the weather, etc. Yet at the wedding near the beginning of the film, the narrator tells us that in a few days the president of Mexico will go to Seattle for the WTO conference - which we all know happened in November.
Luisa: Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea.
