This is an extremely well acted and very believable - in other words, excruciating - depiction of a few days in the lives of two young teens who are longtime friends. An outgoing girl is determined to explore, and the quiet, introverted guy is determined to ignore, whether their friendship should lead to dating.
Wow. This was beautiful, and painful, and brings back (to this quiet introvert) such horrible memories. Well done! Writer/director Jorge Barrio has created a fully-fleshed tale with a minimal cast of only four main characters. The cinematography is fine and the settings are sufficient. The story - more than a vignette, less than a grand drama - accomplishes everything it must without veering into incredulity, and does so through characters who are relatable and likable rather than outliers.
It's well worth watching.
