CGiii Comment

Voice-overs rarely work...but, when accompanied by slushy music...the result is just awful.

The closing credits last for two painfully long minutes...with a painfully out-of-tune singer serenading as the words trundle by.

Some good camera-work though!

The(ir) Blurb...

Arturo and Boris are attracted to each other, but under the pressure of his peers, Bruno is reluctant to give in to his feelings.


Arturo y Boris son dos jóvenes estudiantes que están por descubrir realmente el primer amor y junto a esto, enfrentar lo que realmente son, luchando contra el que dirán los amigos, o los que se dicen ser sus amigos.
