Downtown high rises hem in a pedestrian zone, where La Cori, 17, window shops with a<br />
concentration bordering on obsession. Her tempestuous dark beauty draws stares <strong>of</strong><br />
passers-by, their interest heightened by her two-toned hair, tattoos, body piercing and<br />
broad swaths <strong>of</strong> makeup. Sharing her taut sensual sexuality is her lover, El Guiripi,<br />
slightly older. For it is the young slum dwellers <strong>of</strong> Monterrey -- Mexico's industrial<br />
capital and third largest metropolitan area with four million people - that have<br />
developed a distinctive "Colombiano" style that all is their own. Their eccentric<br />
colorcoded outfits, insider slang and frenetic dances challenge the city's conservative<br />
tone long set by the corporate barons <strong>of</strong> the realm. The film narrates the love story<br />
pivoting on La Cori, pitting El Neto and El Guiripi fiercely at odds over a woman whose<br />
unshakable link to the two is "Colombiano" music. The three characters are driven<br />
together by the magnetic pull <strong>of</strong> "Colombiano", which has magically transformed their<br />
lives<br />
René U. Villarreal is a leading filmmaker from Mexico.<br />
