No sé si cortarme las venas o dejármelas largas
Manolo Caro / Comedy Showcase / Mexico / 2013 / Comedy Showcase / 98 mins
How well do we really know our neighbors?

With a great cast that includes Cecilia Suárez, José María Yazpik, Marimar Vega, and Zuria Vega, this crazy dramedy plays with our expectations while maneuvering the treacherous territory of an urban living space overrun with manic characters.No sé si cortarme las venas o dejármelas largas
