Gerardo (Miguel Angel Hoppe) is a sensitive man who is deeply in love with longtime boyfriend Jonas (Fernando Arroyo). When Jonas becomes infatuated with a stranger he recently met at a local nightclub, heartbroken Gerardo soon seeks solace in the arms of sympathetic Sergio (Alejandro Rojo). Though his lovelorn pains are palpable, Gerardo remains incapable of ending his romance with Jonas despite the rapidly deepening chasm that seems to be splitting the once-happy pair apart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
[Director] Hernández's approach makes all the difference, trusting the camera to reveal the ebb and flow of emotions that sweep over all three men.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
An endurance test notable mainly for its evocative cinematography and the well-toned bodies of its young male leads.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
I could have gone out for dinner, come back and missed little of importance.
-
Nathan Lee, New York Times
Boy meets boy like youve never seen in Julián Hernándezs sex-drenched, extravagantly minimalist epic.
-
Melissa Levine, Village Voice
Without dialogue, we don't know who the characters are, so we can't care about what they do.
