Part 2/9:
One prominent example is found in the beloved Mexican film Amar*, where a teenage girl's romantic interest in a boy from a different social class serves as the focal point of tension. This isn't merely a tale of young love; it encapsulates the profound class divisions evident in Mexico. The pivotal moment arises when the girl’s sister denounces the boy with a single word: “Naco.” For Mexicans, this term carries weight; it signifies disapproval that extends beyond mere personality traits and reflects the stark realities of social class.
