What happens

12 Hours (Spanish: 12 Horas) is a 2001 Puerto Rican movie. It was written and directed by Raúl Marchand Sánchez, and marked both his screenwriting and directorial debut. The movie follows 12 hours or one night in the life of a taxi driver and other characters in Santurce, Puerto Rico. It had a six-week run in Puerto Rican cinemas. Its profanity and sexual content were a definite deviation from the norm as far Puerto Rican films up to that time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
