Loved it

Absolutely beautiful. Young gay romance at its best. Well done

Marvellous short

I saw this short film as part of the "Mexican Men" compilation of five films that is not listed on IMDB. It is easily the best film of the five. I had seen the film before several years ago but could not remember the plot or the ending.

Both actors were hunks. And both knew how to act. Benny Emmanuel did a fine job of playing a lad with bumfluff instead of a proper beard despite his real age being twenty when the film was made. Axel Arenas playing Julio was twenty five but again portraying a much younger youth. His limpid beauty shone through in the film.

There was real chemistry between the actors leading to the final lingering goodbye. I'd forgotten the twist in the tale that came just before.

So, a glittering gem that I'd recommend to anyone, gay or straight, to watch.

Wistful, understated, stunning

A beautiful short film to treasure. This is film making at its best.

the simplicity

it defines this special film in a splendid manner. because it is just a friendship story. precise, touching, seductive. a soldier, a boy and a barbershop. and a meet who seems change everything. because it is portrait of memories and fascination. about an afternoon, a night and an early morning defined by gestures, words and looks. and, after its end, front to the fragments from a kind of old fashion story, the only regret is to expect something else , scene by scene. this, maybe, is the virtue of the script and the mark of the gift of director - to ignore the comfortable/well known tricks for have audience. it is a story. a simple story. about past and the future. together. or, just, about the beauty of life. about generosity. and about the splendor of friendship.
