Gastón Re and Alfonso Barón bring two superbly nuanced performances to this story of clandestine gay love in a Buenos Aires suburb. There is loads of nudity and little left to the imagination but it isn't prurient; it is an evolving love story that addresses a variety of issues: yearning, anger, aspiration, hope, desire - you name it. The direction is intentionally, and creatively, slow - the camera lingers on the faces (and the bodies) but doesn't leave you itching for the fast-forward button. There is, perhaps, a surfeit of sofa soul-searching on occasion but that is easily forgiven in the overall context of the drama.
