Plot

Directors Jaime and Tony Vallés's Spanish-language, teen-oriented romantic comedy Casi, Casi unfolds in a Puerto Rican high school. Backward and introverted Emilio (Mario Pabon) nurtures a deep-seated infatuation for the class princess, Jacklynne Matos (Maite Canto) and views her through rose-colored glasses that utterly blind him to her jerk streak. He devises a wild scheme to attract her attention with a successful bid for president of the Student Council - but discovers, all too late, that she is running opposite him. In a last-minute reversal, Emilio and his five colorful friends opt to break into the school computer system and "fix" the race in the girl's favor (thus rendering Emilio infinitely more attractive to Jacklynne) but must contend with the doings of the monstrous, icewater-veined principal, Raquel Richardson (Marian Pabon).
