For all intents and purposes, Cesc Gay was a new director when this film came out. He manages to write and direct a film that is sensitive and daring in it's treatment of teenage sexuality. He has since written and director other films that have been recognized for their excellence.
This was a first film for Jordi Vilches, who was outstanding as Nico.
The basic story is that two friends are spending some time together while Dani's )Fernando Ramallo) parents are away. They explore their sexuality, and they grow apart as they find they have different interests.
You would never find a film this touching available to American teens. The ratings board would prefer they concentrate on fart jokes rather then an exploration of sexuality. There are a lot of questions here, and some things are wrong (date rape), but there are also no neat endings like you would expect in an American movie. That is how life is.
