Synopsis
Déficit is one day in the life of Cristobal, a twenty-something year old snob high-class guy, a hip-hop fan who studies Economics and is the son of a corrupt high rank Mexican politician. Through his character the film explores a certain strata of Mexican society and its relationship with other social classes. Under the surface of a party hides a story that touches upon the loss of innocence – the acceptance that a political status quo is gradually coming to an end in Mexico. –São Paulo International Film Festival
Director
Gael García Bernal
Actor. Born November 30, 1978 in Guadalajara, Mexico. The son of actors, Garcia Bernal began acting at a very young age. He starred in soap operas as a teenager, quickly becoming a heartthrob in his native Mexico. At 19, he moved to London to study acting at the Central School of Speech and Drama.
Garcia Bernal returned to Mexico to take the lead in some of the country’s most acclaimed films, including 2000’s Oscar-nominated Amores Perros, 2001’s Y Tu Mamá También, and 2002’s El Crimen del Padre Amaro. In 2004, he starred as Che Guevera in The Motorcycle Diaries, a celebrated adaptation of the Cuban revolutionary’s chronicle of his early travels across South America.
In 2006, Garcia Bernal took on his first English-language film, The King. That year, he also appeared in The Science of Sleep and Babel, the latter of which co-stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and is rumored to be an Oscar contender. —biography.com

There seemed to be potential in the beginning, but at the end it didn't work for me. Very predictable.

No me gusto esa película... Creo entender la idea y la historia, pero no hay algo que se rescate en la cinta. No se exigen los actores, el argumento es fácil...

Privileged rich boy has his friends home for a party and proceeds to try to seduce an argentine girl trying to ignore the crushing truth about his future. Bernal attempts to say something about the class structure, economic realities and the fleeting friendship of afluence but comes up short as a director. Handheld camera work pretty awful but film never boring to watch...just kind of empty.
