I Can Quit Whenever I Want

In 2007, young university students Pedro, Arturo and Eligio look forward to graduating and earning respect and money, focusing their efforts on teachings, not having fun and feasts. But 10 years later, the bitter reality is that Pedro is divorced from his wife Gloria and seeing his little daughters Clara and Claudia once a week, being bullied by university Dean Merino, and giving chemistry classes to Chinese exchange students; Arturo survives as a home tutor giving private lessons to remedial students like Jota, who openly despises him; and Eligio is a naive geek unable to finish his history thesis whose desperate parents Rosario and Antonio are forcing him to work in Rosario's brother's gas station with the streetwise, smarter Anabel. Trying to improve his situation, Pedro requests funds from Merino for his long-delayed investigation--and gets fired. When Arturo and Eligio meet Pedro to pack up their things from the laboratory, Arturo learns about Pedro's investigation: a new pill to increase concentration. With nothing to lose, Arturo tests one pill followed by Pedro; they then force Eligio to test it. Discovering its hallucinogenic effects, the three decide to become drug dealers, and Jota and Anabel introduce them to the night world of discos and partying. Their success brings eccentric disco owner Tacho to ask them for more pills to sell in his local. Things seem to improve: Gloria is interested in Pedro again; Arturo starts dating Jota's mother Isa; and Eligio wins easy money to get his parents' respect. But suddenly the situation changes: Isa is revealed to be a police detective investigating Pedro's new pill; Merino realizes that Pedro has been making pills at the university; and Tacho demands a special shipment of 50 Kg. (110 Lbs.), threatening to kill them all if they don't accomplish it. Can they answer Tacho's demand and at the same time avoid arrest by Isa?

Two Weeks Notice

1 hr 41 mins
Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.
