Mauricio (16), a Costa Rican student, and Elías (45), the janitor, form an alliance to sell an experimental drug "Cachiflín" in the form of a suppository at school. Mauricio creates an empire and becomes the most popular young man in school thanks to the success of the business with the help of Alexa (16) against the wishes of her boyfriend Esteban (16). Success increases the fortunes of Mauricio, who, together with Aleza, betrays his best friend Esteban. So much success leads to the end of Cachiflin, and Mauricion, Alexa and Elías decide to create Cachifake, but this attempt has negative results on the students, creating chaos that captures the attention of director Amparo. Alexa is not harmed, but Mauricio is expelled and Elías is removed from his job.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
