Featured reviews
The two young main actors are really fantastic. They have a great chemistry on screen and they say a lot to each other with a look.
It's not very often that I think a movie is too short but this is one. I was hoping the last few minutes would stretch. This is a quiet movie with a lot of heart - a little gem.
If your heart isn't breaking a little while the song "Tal Vez" plays, you *may* be made of stone.

If you enjoyed "Moonlight", you'll enjoy this. Another quiet gem of a movie that doesn't require constant talking to get its point across.
The actors, especially the boy who plays Lorenzo, are terrific at communicating non-verbal. It's not a complicated story, but more an emotional exploration of the characters' relationships and how they develop. Be prepared to not get the ending you may be wishing for...but that only adds to the movie's more realistic interpretation of how life doesn't always turn out the way we expect.
I'd rather watch a well-done character study like this than another stupid explosion-filled Hollywood flick any day.

A subtle film which tales a friendship story between 2 teenagers that everything seems to oppose. Lorenzo is benevolent, empathetic and sometimes impetuous. He lives within a strict although serene and convivial environment. In short, a fairly quiet life in Patagonia. In contrast, Caito is calm, shy, not prolific in words and unpredictable. Indeed, he learned to live alone, without being accountable to anyone. A life significantly more difficult within a drug-and-prison environment.
Although they are fundamentally different, they will learn to understand, help and appreciate each other. The beginning of a deep friendship filmed with subtlety.
Even if the movie takes place in Patagonia, it's not a remake of Brokeback Mountain. The landscapes are perhaps similar but, in my humble opinion, the analogy stops right there.

What a great movie about true love
No judgment. No hate. No possession
Just be
Give a chance
Being opened
It is so nice to see what other countries than USA can do great movie without budget and violence.
Congrats to Argentinians
I happened to run across this film on cable and was impressed with its subtle approach to a familiar situation. How many films are shot in the bucolic Argentinian Patagonia?
A troubled young man is sent to live with a charming family that includes teenage son Lorenzo. It isn't long before tensions begin to surface.
Angelo Mutti Spinatta has the complex role of Lorenzo and his performance is remarkable.
