cute story from S. America

Great acting. interesting story. Leo (Martín Rodríguez) has moved out of the house, and can't seem to keep a girlfriend. Clearly he's not ready to admit he's gay, even to himself. He finally meets cutie Seba ( Gerardo Begérez ) who is so comfortable with himself and his own sexuality, that of course, there's conflict when Seba wants to go out and about, but Leo can't admit to anyone that he himself is gay. He connects with Caro, an old school friend, who has issues of her own. Like the early philosopher said, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a large battle". I just wanted to shake most of the characters in this story and say "Get over yourself! you are wasting time feeling sorry for yourself. Life is too short!".... but of course, people have to come out when they are ready. Leo's mom even drops hints that if he were gay, she just wants him to be happy. every character in the film has some battle raging inside their head. Written and directed by Enrique Buchichio, who WAS born in Uruguay. this one is showing on FilmRise channel.
