The Story

“A free‑spirited road trip through Mexico that is a sexy and wistful hymn to the fleetingness of youth.” — Rotten Tomatoes

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Y Tu Máma También is the seminal Mexican coming-of-age film that launched the international careers of Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna.

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, the story follows teenage friends Julio and Tenoch as they embark on a spontaneous road trip with the alluring and mysterious Luisa. Along the way, they explore love, desire, and friendship while confronting Mexico’s social divides and the fleeting, bittersweet nature of youth. Blending humour, sensuality, and poignant social commentary, Y Tu Máma También remains a vibrant, daring, and emotionally resonant portrait of adolescence, freedom, and self-discovery.
