Plot summary

Producers searched college campuses across the United States, including Arizona State, Oklahoma and Washington State, for cast members and settled on sixteen students. Six camera crews then followed them to Cancún, Mexico, in March 2003, filming around the clock for a week. The finished film is built from interviews, planned group activities and the students' own spontaneous adventures. It was designed as a reality feature made without a script and without actors, with a cast of real people chosen to go past the limits of television. During the week the group drinks, flirts, argues and forms romantic relationships while celebrating spring break in the city's Hotel Zone.
