Memorable Quotes
Si te gusta el frijol, pues vas.
— La Güera (Renata's friend)
Context:
This line is spoken by Renata's friend, "La Güera," when Renata is hesitant about her feelings for Ulises due to their social differences. It serves as the push she needs to ignore the social stigma and follow her heart, setting the romance in motion.
Meaning:
Literally "If you like beans, then go for it." This is a colloquial and somewhat classist Mexican phrase used to encourage Renata to pursue Ulises. "Frijol" (bean) can be used as a slightly derogatory slang for someone of a lower, more indigenous background. The quote's meaning is double-edged: it's a friend's encouragement but simultaneously acknowledges and makes light of the social taboo she is about to break.
Yo no conozco el mar... en tus ojos me imagino el mar.
— Ulises
Context:
Ulises says this to Renata during one of their romantic dates in a rowboat at Chapultepec Park. It's a moment of pure, intimate connection where they are temporarily free from the judgmental eyes of society, and he expresses how she has expanded his world.
Meaning:
"I don't know the sea... in your eyes I imagine the sea." This poetic line reveals Ulises's vulnerability and the depth of his feelings for Renata. The sea symbolizes a world of freedom and beauty he has never experienced, and he finds that world within her. It highlights the sincerity and idealism of their love.
Te amo.
— Renata
Context:

Meaning:

It signifies that, despite everything, their love was real and was the most important thing to her in her final moment, cementing the film's tragic core.
