shareIn the age of Grindr and PrEP, a handsome Argentinian poet invites an attractive stranger to his apartment while cruising the streets of Barcelona. After a steamy one-night stand, a deeper connection — one that began 20 years earlier — reveals itself between the two men. Director Lucio Castro constructs a beautiful, sensual romance in which memory, desire, and reality splinter into many playful and melancholic timelines, examining the multiple ways love and sex can transform a relationship.
