Storyline

Hache (Mario Casas) flies back to Barcelona after spending two years in London, trying to forget his first love and Pollo's (Álvaro Cervantes) death, his best friend. His brother picks him up from the airport; after he settles himself in, he sees his bike covered with a sheet. H. takes his bike for a spin and lands in the port where he used to race illegally. As soon as he gets there he receives a call, turns out Katina (Marina Salas) found out through Álex (Hache's brother) that he just got back; they both agree to meet at a park. When he arrives at the park, Hache sees Chino (Lucho Fernandez) who tells him that things have changed. Chino invites him to a get-together in a restaurant with their other friends. While waiting sitting on a bench, Katina surprises him and they both sit down for some catch up time.

User Reviews

Romantic drama plenty of emotion , thrills , fights and a triangular love story

Mario Casas leads the cast of this sequel of ¨Three Meters Above The Sky¨ the story of two young people who belong to different worlds ; this one starts with the return of the misfit , impulsive , unconscious young man H (Mario Casas) , to his hometown where meets his mother (Carme Elias) and reconnecting with the past means struggle and also a new love (Clara Lago) who reluctant at first but finally falls in love for him . Meanwhile , ¨H¨ gets mixed up with some tough as well as bad guys and is embodied in endless fights and illegal motorbike races , the limit of common sense . Later on , ¨Hache¨ meets again Babi (Maria Valverde) , the girl from upper-middle class that was educated in goodness and innocence .

Sensitive as well as romantic drama is loaded with an enjoyable triangular love story , twisted situations and with a distinctly Spanish idiosyncrasy . It is the chronicle of a love improbable , almost impossible between two maladjusted young people : Mario Casas and Clara Lago but inevitable dragging in a frantic journey in which he discovers again his first great love : Maria Valverde . Although is full of predictability and cliché-ness the film results out to be pretty entertaining . It turns out to be pleasantly fun that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever ; an exercise in pure escapism in which entertainment and thrilling happenings are guaranteed .

Passable acting by Mario Casas as Hache , a rebellious boy who has an appetite for risk and danger , a ¨rebel without a cause¨ , in James Dean'style . This is Mario Casas's most important screen appearance in screen and pretty well Clara Lago as the beautiful dancer Gin . And agreeable and charming Maria Valverde as the innocent Babi . As shown in the film, H and Babi develop a relationship , well, the two actors developed a relationship of their own in 2010 , though it is known that the two broke up in September of 2014 . Ample support cast formed by newcomers who would have an acceptable and uneven career , such as : Ferran Vilajosana , Diego Martín , Nerea Camacho , Alvaro Cervantes of ¨Carlos I¨ series and Carlos Francino of ¨Victor Ros¨ series . Colorful and glimmer cinematography by Xavi Gimenez . Atmospheric and moving musical score by Manel Santisteban . And the advertisement including Christina Aguilera who looks amazing on the set for her music video for 'Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti' with Alejandro Fernández .

Being based on Federico Moccia bestseller book . Federico is a Best-seller writer and director , known for¨ Amore 14¨ , ¨Scusa Ma Ti Voglio Sposare¨ , ¨Tre Metri Sopra Il Cielo¨ (2004) or ¨Tres Metros Sobre el Cielo¨ (2010) and its sequel , ¨Tengo Ganas De Ti¨ (2012) . He also wrote several scripts as ¨Palla Al Centro¨ , ¨Ho Voglia Di Te¨ , ¨Classe Mista 3A¨ and ! Cannibal holocaust 2 ¡ . ¨Perdona Si Te Llamo Amor¨ . The motion picture was professionally directed by the Spanish filmmaker Fernando González Molina ("Three Steps Above Heaven") . He went on directing successes as the $13.5 million period drama "Palm Trees in the Snow" also with Mario Casas .
