Hermosa juventud
Beautiful Youth
Natalia and Carlos are a twenty-year-old couple from the outskirts of Madrid. Natalia lives with her two younger siblings and her mother, the latter the sole breadwinner in the family. Natalia spends most of her time strolling around shopping centres or sleeping. Carlos, in contrast, supports his invalid mother thanks to a few badly paid construction jobs. Tired of being poor, Natalia and Carlos decide to take part in an amateur adult production as a quick way to earn some easy cash. Trouble starts when, shortly after, Natalia finds out she is pregnant. (Raquel Martínez, Spanish Film Review Club)
