Synopsis
Drama, video, colour, 25 mins., 1984, Québec, Canada, OFV with English subtitles
Two couples who travelled together to Mexico happily watch the footage of their vacation. They laugh at scenes of dropping in on a working-class Mexican family unannounced, frolicking on the beach and at the pool, and haggling over souvenirs. But when their doorbell rings and three stranded Mexicans ask to use the phone, the tables are turned and the mood becomes frosty.
