Two men begin a romantic relationship in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Gary Goldstein

Los Angeles Times

Although deliberately paced and a bit repetitive, the movie contains many lovely subtleties and two superb, swoony lead turns that keep us invested.

Gay City News

Poignant, erotic, and quietly powerful.... Marco Berger masterfully captures the heightened sexual tension between two men in a film that is both exquisite and excruciating.

The Pink Lens

There are times when the film suffers a little from Inactivity Syndrome, but there is so much tension (both sexual and dramatic) between the pair that you can forgive it sometimes dragging its feet.

Rated: 4/5

The News Lens International

The script doesn't break much narrative ground, but the two leads have such screen presence that we find ourselves engrossed.

Film Threat

This may not be a film that advertises itself as important, in short, but its sensitivity and perceptiveness will leave a lasting impression.

Differentiating this tale of 2 guys searching for completeness within each other-besides its several unexpected twists and its Argentinian take on homophobia-is the stellar acting by Re, and Barón, plus the finesse of the production.

Poignant, slow simmering the sexual tension is palpable. I personally loved it and watched it twice. The acting is great. Beware it is a slow burn but ultimately so rewarding. I felt the erotic sensuality throughout the film, one of the better gay themed films. Both actors are amazing!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It is a great movie. Marco Berger is a fine cinematographer and deserve to become more visible out of the circuit of gay cinema where it seems to be put. I really hope his full cinematography will become known to a wider audience.

Sweet, delicate, anchored in everyday life, in settings far from glamorous, lies a love story between two men or shall I say between a man and a twat. The blond one is sweet and innocent, simple and with a big, loving heart. He takes what love brings without the drama, without argument, constantly full of hope, putting love above disappointments. Another story needed to be told to show that being gay is not simple and full of compromises, even now.

I've seen several Marco Berger movies and I think this is one of his bests. I didn't quite like others from the same director as they tend to have no actions at all and relay on characters talking endlessly about nothing. In this film the silences and the tempo adds to the way the relation between the characters evolve. A soulfull movie.
