Sexo, pudor y lágrimas

Sexo, pudor y lágrimas (Sex, Shame, and Tears) is a Mexican film, the second of the so-called New Era of the Cinema of Mexico (the first one was Like Water for Chocolate) and the directorial debut of Antonio Serrano.

The film is based on the successful play of the same name, which ran for two consecutive years and was written by Serrano himself. After the film was released it broke box-office records in Mexico (MX$118 million, roughly US$10.9 million), it was shown for more than twenty-seven weeks, and was seen by more than eight million people in Mexico alone.[1] The film won five Ariel Awards.

As of December 2018[update], Sexo, pudor y lágrimas still held the record as Mexico's highest-grossing film of all time.[2]
