Enhanced by the guys

What is it about South American films with a gay theme? Where do they get these incredibly sexy men from ? All of Toni's mates were hotter than hot. More than that, they looked as if they were enjoying the action too. But the horniest guy was the cop who was standing up during the interviews (not a spoiler; these are in the first scene).

The plot was a bit too contrived to be totally convincing. The love triangle between the siblings and Aaron running alongside the concomitant closet-case aspect was too convenient. The way this led to the disappearance was a bit too slick. I assume the cops sort out who's who and who's gone in the end. We are left to ponder what happens. But once the answer comes, it'll be too late for Toni's hopes of love.

Done on a presumably low budget, this film was good enough for a rainy afternoon. I enjoyed it.

Engaging murder mystery with a gay twist
rklein12315 April 2023
I found the movie very engaging. The very beginning was a little confusing, but once the story line becomes clear, there was never a dull moment. If the story line dragged just a bit, the men in the film kept it interesting. There were just enough sexy men and sexy scenes to keep an audience on edge.

Nice camera work, and nice transitions between scenes. Now and again, some slight problems with the sound, but considering the budget, an overall admirable movie.

There was some interesting foreshadowing at the beginning in the police station that suggested the ending (if not making the ending almost inevitably predictable). But it still played out well, and was well worth the time spent watching it.

👍🏻

I have seen worse

I kinda like the story tbh (except the ending). It's straightforward and not pretentious like most current gay films. Plus there are plenty of sexy guys on display. Even the police men are smoking hot.

Very entertaining gay movie to watch with friends

Very Almodovar Spanish drama full of handsome actors and a very hot story. It's a low-budget movie but I really liked it. Good photography, handsome actors, good direction and magnificent scenery in the field with horses.
