Fiebre de juventud (English: "Youth Fever"), also known as Romance en Ecuador (English: "Romance in Ecuador"),[1][2] is a 1966 Mexican-Ecuadorian musical comedy film directed by Alfonso Corona Blake[3] and starring Enrique Guzmán, Begoña Palacios, Rosa María Vázquez and Fernando Luján.[2][4]

Plot

Carlos and Luis drop out of school and try to make it big with a music group, with considerable success. They travel to Ecuador and they meet two sisters, the beautiful Rita and the prudish Silvia. Luis and Rita fall madly in love and want to get married, but the sisters' father Don Jaime says the marriage has a condition: Silvia must get married first. Luis tries to convince Carlos to woo Silvia, but the two couldn't treat each other worse. However, their experiences together will cause love to be born out of hatred.
