When Ocho, an Argentine poet on vacation in Barcelona, spots Javi from his balcony, the attraction is subtle but persistent. After a missed connection on the beach, a third chance encounter escalates to a seemingly random hookup. But are they part of each other’s histories, or maybe even destinies?
With hints of Call Me By Your Name and the Before trilogy, Lucio Castro’s luminous drama yearns to bridge the wistful gap between memory and fantasy. Whether in bed, on the dance floor, or drifting through beautiful Barcelona, this almost love story is imbued with the intensity of queer intimacy.
