Por la Libre

Por la libre (English title Dust to dust) is a 2000 Mexican film about two rival cousins, both named Rodrigo Carnicero who set on a trip to comply with the last wish of their grandfather (also named Rodrigo Carnicero): to have his ashes thrown to the sea at dawn in the port of Acapulco. Expect chaos and some surprises on the way.

One of the first representatives of the "New Wave" in Mexican cinema, and a Spiritual Ancestor to the way more successful and known Y Tu Mama Tambien.

This movie contains examples of:

 * Chekhov's Gun: The corn chips bag appears half an hour before it becomes important.
 * Closer to Earth: Perla. And (kind of) Pureza.
 * Cool Car: Left on Grandpa's will to Rodrigo.
 * Cool Old Guy: The grandfather and his best friend, Felipe.
 * Cluster F Bomb: The word "pendejo", a relatively strong insult in Mexican Spanish, is used liberaly by most characters.
 * Jerkass: Both guys' fathers.
 * New Age Retro Hippie: Rocco is a mild example.
 * One Steve Limit: Heavily averted. There are four people named Rodrigo Carnicero in the movie.
 * Plot Device: The grandfather's ashes.
