If the moral judgment aside to define the film, it is not so much a story of a born juvenile delinquent based on real events that brings together elements of various genres such as Westerns and gangster films, but rather it is hyperpolitical and hyperideological, anti-order Youth films with sociopaths
. Lorenzo Farrow's stunning performance terrifies the hero's ruthlessness and seduces him by his angelic face and "innocent" temperament. The film avoids the standpoint of moral judgment, and does not analyze the motives of the crime in depth. Instead, it expresses this very sinful and beautiful youth in a dark humorous way. Photography, art, music and narrative style are completely unified, providing the audience with a more pure viewing style, worthy of Pedro Almodóvar's "Desire Films" work
.

Marisol: Why do you carry a gun?
Carlos: The street is getting weird. You can't go around defenseless. It's for your safety too. What do I tell your parents if something were to happen to you?
Carlos: [shows her two guns under his waistband] One for you and one for your sister.
