For the year it was filmed, it's a complete disaster, especially the script and direction. It attempts to copy some of Almodovar's films, but it doesn't quite work. It starts out as an LGBT-themed comedy with a lesbian protagonist and her gay/drag queen friend, and ends as a heterosexual romantic comedy. The treatment of several themes was 20 years behind the times (it might have been acceptable for an '80s film). It's full of clichés, and the jokes lack humor. There are several good, well-known actors and actresses (both Spanish and Argentine), but their performances are disjointed, and there's no chemistry whatsoever, and they end up being wasted.

The idea of bringing together the themes that surround the people of these times, (from the most important to those that apparently are not), seemed very good to me.

Sexual diversity, Gender diversity, Machismo and Feminism, Racism, Homo and Transphobia, Toxic and healthy masculinities, Harassment / Abuse, Veganism.

Family, religious, work, police, institutional and medical violence. HIV+. Polyamor and affective responsibility. Pansexuality, Demisexuality, etc., Use of light drugs (marijuana), and Non-Binary Language.

There were really many topics addressed (and not all, for example, there were no unwanted pregnancies and legal or illegal abortions). Some of the themes seem to have no connection with the others, but all of them together make up the current reality of thousands of people and is transversal to all social classes, because although this series shows characters from the "middle class" of Sao Paulo, Brazil, which opens the possibility of a hopeful future, if this had been developed with characters from the lower class, working class, marginal, etc. It would be the same, but with the addition of economic pressure to survive (which leads to more abuse, prostitution, abuse of more toxic drugs, more violence, jail, etc.) plus the ignorance and influence of evangelical churches, they would just end up being tragic stories.

So, trying to show/teach the public about All this reality, through a TV series, seems like a great idea to me. And I think that in large part that work was very well done!

I really liked it. I think this movie of intertwined stories worked well. He kept me interested the whole time about all of his characters.

It talks about machismo, secrets and lies, stories of abandonment and how we react to it, but also about social evolution.

I really liked the performances (and that is what the movie is based on), since, it could have been a play, because everything takes place in three or four closed spaces.

Against: Since there are already many characters due to the type of story, it was unnecessary, I think, some few extra characters who added nothing to the film. And the title "Dissolved". I didn't see "Dissolution" in the movie...
