YOUR RATING
Desire Street (2011)
The story follows a Mexican immigrated family‘s life 
in America. They are Carmen (Alejandra Walker) who is a 
single and religious mother, wants to test the “confused” 
sexuality of her teenager son, Bess (Ellen Clifford), a 
young girl who is discriminated for her unattractive 
appearance, and Andrea, the young son falls in love with a 
mid-age man, as they try to survive their loneliness and 
obsessions by going through different unusual experiences 
and relationships with their new neighbor Lucy, a 
prostitute. Influences like religion, environment and 
prejudices are, in occasions, very destructive to the 
social environment. 
 
DESIRE STREET is an independent feature film exploring the 
social and family issues with a melodramatic, but at times 
humoristic tone and with very bold/colorful characters and 
dynamic narration. The message that directors bring to the 
film, which is “respect for others”, independently of their 
sexuality, race or profession, is very relevant. Also the 
film highlights the importance of the family support, for 
any teenagers who are struggling for their sexuality and 
differences to the stereotype that the society creates.
