    Featured review

    A gay boy/man cannot commit to living his own sexual life, but must accept his society's dictates.

    There's a surprising use of nudity and sex (both het and homo) in a movie from Peru, even if the money was from Spain.

    Good leads. Seemingly honest portrayal of the difficulty of living ones own life, instead of the one expected of you by parents, friends, and society.

    It proves you can have your cake and eat it too, but at some dreadful costs.
