What can move people in order to do unthinkable things?
This is the story of some teenagers that one day decide to create a group, MAKAMAT, and in the school trip they get pregnant.
But, not all of them are so sure about what they are doing and, in some way, this movie shows how some of these girls do this to be accepted by the rest, but not because they really want.

There is a shor presentation of each girl so that the spectator can understand, more or less, the purpose and the reasons of the decision. In my opinion, this is quite good because it helps to understand the idea. However, it is quite difficult for the spectactor to understand it because the topic developed by the movie is quite hard. By the way, I like it and I think it is a good way to have fun by watching cinema made in my own country, which is somethin that everybody shoul do.



The use of the camera movement in this film is very important. It is presented as it were a video filmed by one of the girls so it gives the spectator a point of view different. On the other hand, it makes the story more believable because it is like it was filmed as a play, and now it comes to light.

On the other hand, it is important to remark how this movie shows the influence that some people have over the rest. The decision taken in this movie is not a decision taken by every single girl that participate but only by two who decide to involve the rest of their classmates and friends in order to make it more sonorous. The rest, so that they are integrated and accepted, do it. Therefore, this movie can be considered as a kind of critic of the society. The important thing is not to do what the rest expect from you, but doing what you really feel, defend and desire.
