CGiii Comment

The difference between petulance and persistence is not so wide after all!

A totally immersive journey into the realms of maturity...years don't matter, love is everything.

Deeply moving...replete with that fantastic petulant persistence!

The(ir) Blurb...

After a heart attack, Luís (60) experiences the threat of death for the first time, as well as the impact of aging on his body. Scared, he decides to retreat to a mountain house belonging to his ex-husband Galo (60). Luís intends to move away from what he desires the most: his young boyfriend Mario (23), although the boy is unwilling to let him go like that. In the same mountain refuge where he spent his childhood, Luís will be forced to confront his fear of death and old age, while he fights against the desire of keeping Mario by his side.
