CGiii Comment

A rather cheesy film about first [gay] love...

A decent editor would have improved things enormously.

The(ir) Blurb...

Cristobal's friendship seems to confuse Yuniel, a Cuban teenager. Cristobal is about to leave Cuba and this worries Yuniel even more. Writing liberates Yuniel and he enjoys it in solitude. "Sometimes. Sometimes. I think writing is absolutely useless. It won't even help me grasp your name. Your name! though fresh and clear, somehow tastes a little bitter".


La amistad de Cristóbal parece confundir a Yuniel, un adolescente de Cuba. Cristóbal está a punto de irse de Cuba y esto preocupa a Yuniel aún más. Escribir es lo único que libera a Yuniel y lo disfruta en soledad. "A veces. A veces creo que escribir no sirve para nada. No sirve ni siquiera para aprender tu nombre, que es claro y fresco. Y a veces también un poco amargo.."
