The storyline is very predictable. But I did not watch this film hoping for deep insights or for political reasons. The 60's music in the film is fun and carefree and not serious. Like most coming of age movies "Besos" tends to glamorize and hype teen rebellion. I remember the late 60's as being much more conservative. Most college students were much more serious. But then this is like many such stories that are more about "what I wish I had done and said". I was not in Spain in the 60's, but I was in the US and Mexico and there were characters like those in the film. Life was much more spontaneous because we were all more spontaneous when we were younger. The music is a 10, the story is a 5. I cannot comment on Franco's Spain but others who were there tell me it was harsh. Mexico's government was also harsh and corrupt at the time(and still is-a revolution?), and in the US for certain groups of society it was also harsh and corrupt(Mississippi Burning, Harvest of Shame).
