SYNOPSIS:  A Spanish teenager learns about love, death, and oral hygiene in this bittersweet coming of age story. David is a 16-year-old growing up on the poor side of Madrid. David falls in love with Gloria,, a beautiful girl in his class, but he can't figure out a way to get her to notice him. In time David's so desperate to get close to Gloria that he starts getting his teeth cleaned by her mother, a neighborhood dentist, who tends to share her problems with her patients.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  The soundtrack won't be winning any awards or winning over any fans, but the film itself may find a place in your heart.  Biel Durán, the breast-loving boy from from Teta y la Luna, La (The Tit and the Moon), plays 16-year-old David, the legs, butt, hands, fingers, sex and pretty much everything else loving boy in this Spanish film.  Bárbara Lennie plays Gloria, the girl he is secretly in love with.  In fact, David is completely obsessed with this girl, even going so far as to masturbate with a banana peel that Gloria recently discarded (now that is obsession) and getting a tooth pulled by her mother (who's also a dentist) just so he can see her more.  It doesn't stop there either, from trying to put a condom over his head while in the bathtub to getting aroused from writing in his journal (and then "getting caught" by his mother) this kid has issues!  Of course Gloria doesn't really seem to care about David and is more interested in the older boys, but he continues to pursue Gloria...even when he himself is being pursued by a different girl!
