Panquecito

A short film about maturity. An evening, a date and the fight against obstacle to a form of initiation . Pedro Pablo Rodriguez gives a beautiful performance in a cold and dark short drama.

And I loved it not least because David Guevara, playing the thug El Diablo, is absolutely my type. The geek Gonzalo is absolutely not and Pedro Pablo Rodriguez, who was playing him, did a fantastic job especially in the opening sequences of getting turned down by other attractive guys. Whoever thought of making Gonzalo's job a translator of instruction manuals into Spanish was a genius.

The film encapsulated a true cliché - that gay guys love a straight(acting) yob. The machinations around getting him, between Gonzalo and his roommate, were deadly serious but made me laugh all the same.

This was a great short and I definitely recommend it.
