Synopsis

Gerardo, a 17-year-old guy has just finished his relationship with Bruno and starts wandering hopeless through the streets of the city. In his wandering he’s tortured by images: each masculine body he sees reminds him of his lover. Gerardo is determined to keep what’s left of his dying love. The only comfort he has is a letter that Bruno left him with his boss. —IMDb

The photography's greatly stylized and the camera is very fluid. Visually, there are few films like this one. The story itself, however, is not that developed. I feel that in order to be more successful, it could have been clearer. Once the basic story is understood, everyone can focus on the emotions of loss and longing. I did not understand all of it, but I liked it. Also, the scene at the record stand is magical.

No logra expresar el dolor de la pérdida de un amor pero sin duda retrata bellamente al protagonista. Una de las únicas escenas que valen totalmenta la pena ver es cuando Gerardo busca el disco de Sara Montiel... inolvidable
