Quemar Las Naves

Quemar las Naves (English title: Burn the Bridges) is a 2007 Mexican film directed by Francisco Franco-Alba, based on the script co-written by actress Maria Reneé. The film was shot in the Mexican state of Zacatecas and addresses issues such as incest and homosexuality. It officially premiered in October 2007 at the Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia. The title refers to a saying, which means "to cut all ties holding someone to something or someone", widely known in Mexico due to the fact that Spanish conquerer Hernan Cortes did it literally when he and his men set foot for the first time in continental America, in order to avoid mutiny or desertion.
