In this episode we talk about the coming-of-age classic Quinceañera, based on the 1960 film of the same name, written by Jorge Duran Chavez, Alfonzo Rosas Priego, and Edmundo Baez Felix. The story dealt with some pretty adult topics both on screen and behind the scenes, and it's the novela that launched the careers of Adela Noriega and Thalia.
