Synopsis
“Cigarettes allow us to communicate with fire without being consumed by it” is announced in white letters on the screen before even the characters appear on 18 & ½ cigarettes. That’s how many Ezequiel smokes all throughout the film, which picks up just a tiny fragment of a life filled with search and uncertainty. And so we will be able to follow this young man and his friends through different places and contexts, but only in the moments that take place between the time Ezequiel lights a cigarette and when he finishes it. That’s why all the events, like his visit to a brothel and the beating he gets from his ex girlfriend’s new boyfriend will be later reenacted verbally, with an ashtray on the side. This is the peculiar way in which the story of Ezequiel and Vivian (the girl with a new boyfriend) is weaven, a love affair he doesn’t seem to consider closed. They had made a promise: if they had a fight someday, they had the right to demand for a last kiss, and that’s exactly what Ezequiel is after.
