A Year in Uruguay

Getting covered with mud and shaving cream seems to be part of the 15 years (quince años) celebration in Uruguay. I've noticed it a few times. The girls are really a mess but they seem happy about it. I think there's a big party later in the evening. I don't know much about the tradition in Montevideo, but I think it differs from the experience shown in this movie: Quinceañera
