The film is a very bland way of telling the story of two long separated couples who meet again on a normal day and their relationship then goes from rekindled to extinguished. The film is just over 80 minutes, but I found it to be a bit long. The first reason is that this kind of emotional film, which is not supported by any special effects or big scenes, requires a strong sense of conviction and acting skills from the actors. For example, in the first scene of the film, Victor, the male lead, meets his partner, David, who he has been away from for 15 years, on his way to work, but the two act like they just made friends couple days ago. Another example is that the two actors don't even have a single tear in their eyes when they are sobbing in pain, which makes it very uncomfortable for the audience to watch, and from there I no longer believe that the story is true. The acting of the male lead is actually moderate, but the second male lead, really can't act (sorry). Then again, the film doesn't have any surprises that the viewer would expect, and you can basically guess how the story will end from the beginning. The film goes from fights to make up to fights then to make up to fights and then ends. But there are a few scenes in the film that are actually very beautiful, and I especially like the scene in the shade of a tree in the late afternoon. The sunlight passes through the treetops and hits the faces of the two people, who open their hearts to each other and sublimate their feelings. The transformation of Victor is also shown through the contrast between the beginning and the end of the film. In the beginning of the film, when Vik meets David, he takes the initiative to talk to him for a while, and at the end of the film, when the two men meet again on the street after two years, they still smile at each other, but this time Victor chooses to move on.

This film is phenomenal. The story is shown in a very beautiful and sentimental way. I found it deeply touching because I myself identify with the story in some ways, so this film is then that but expanded. It is also very actual as the production quality as well as the cultural elements of the film makes the story feel very real and relevant to the present day. I loved how poetic many of the conversations went, which makes the whole narrative feel very artful. The acting of the characters is also on point: they're completely submerged into their characters. So the beautiful storytelling accompanied by how relatable the story was makes me love this film. And although the ending was quite sad, it was still rather appropriate for the circumstances. All in all, this is one of the most beautiful gay films I've ever watched in my life.

If you're looking for a film about how not to conduct yourself in a gay male relationship, this is it. Writer-director Matías De Leis Correa's second feature outing is a talky, jumbled mess about the dysfunctional reunion of two long-separated partners (Patricio Arellano, Esteban Recagno) who constantly paw at one another but can't make up their minds about what they want for the future. In a story that pretentiously deals with the supposed power of love and unrestrained raw emotion, the film ends up being little more than an exercise in circular, often-contradictory discussions about relationships and responsibility as a precursor to soft-core gay male porn. The picture tries hard to pass itself off as a work of poetic, heartfelt romance but is in actuality little more than slickly produced justification for bad behavior. What's more, the story grows ever more tedious as it unfolds, straining to evoke sympathy from audience members for the selfish expectations and doormat subservience of its two remarkably unlikable protagonists, plot devices that regularly and increasingly prompt sighs and reactions of "Oh, come on already!" While this release admittedly features some fine camera work of the Argentinean landscape, that's about all it has going for it. This one is easily skipped.
