What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Tomás's falsely reported AIDS diagnosis motivates both his suicidal comic behavior and his emotional transformation.
Tomás begins as a womanizer whose deception triggers Silvia's revenge and destabilizes his carefree lifestyle.
The protagonist's yuppie lifestyle, nurse encounter, and relationship with a stewardess establish a contemporary Mexican urban milieu.
Tomás's attempt to die by putting his head in a microwave collides with the film's flirtatious romantic-comedy framework.
