Have you heard about "el complejo de Guacanagarix"? This film shows a lot of social realities... the racism, "la doble moral", "los prejuicios", etc.
The pressure of a teenage girl on the days before her 15th birthday party! The pressure from her family, especially the mom... how she pushes away the boy she likes in order to not disappoint or embarrass her family, because he is black, but so is she and so is her father! The sweet irony!
But in the end, so is the boy and so is everybody in the film with their own shallownes and prejudices.
Aren't we all in the end? Does anybody escapes from having one or another prejudice?!
So Miriam lies in order to protect herself from the truth, that her mother would not accept her boyfriend as much the mother doesn't really accept her daughter either!
