Storyline

Carmello, who is 30-years old and extremely shy, finds it difficult to reveal his innermost feelings to Verónica, his coworker. Carmelo's world collapses when he finds out that she intends to get married soon. Accidentally, she spots him demonstrating in a gay rally where he becomes a leader of that cause. Of course, Verónica assumes that Carmelo is gay, and he takes advantage of this misunderstanding to overcome his shyness and play a game of lies that will lead them to a most unpredictable ending.

User Reviews

A new way to conquer a woman.

The movie shows a new way to conquer a woman's heart. It is very funny for the viewers to see the many ways this timid and solitary man used to be recognized by the woman he loves. The gay issue is presented as usually, in an incorrect perspective but funny. It also presents the reality present in many Hispanic countries (specially in America) against homosexuality and it's followers.

I highly recommend this movie. It has very good performances and it has a new angle for a Romantic/Comedy movie.
