- Sexual tension spills off the screen in this sweaty, titillating bromance from award-winning director Marco Berger.

Sensitive, feelgood gay movie - Hawaii review by CP Customer
Don't expect gunfights, car crashes or any other superficial nonsense that passes for drama in so many films. Instead, follow the story of two young men - one a drifter, the other an uptight writer - who resume a childhood friendship, but with new, adult feelings. Tender, well-paced and ultimately life and love-affirming. For Spanish-speakers there's the bonus of a lovely Argentinian accent!
