This is one of those films that shouldn't be categorized as a ''gay love'' film. And usually, being categorized is the main reason why the movie was so underminded, by some of the people from the lgbt community who likes to see movies that focus more on human's sexuality and/or sexual/eroticism. Because the movie was being categorized, not many people and/or critics outside of the lgbt community, cares enough to even bother to give this movie a watch. Because this movie is truly beautiful. Remember what I said before ? This movie didn't necessarily focus on sexuality. Yeah it had a few *eye catching* moments here and there, but only to highlight the realistic and ordinary - the life of the two main protagonists, Martin and Eugenio. Yes, this movie focused more on the two characters; their development and history. The further the story lines goes, the more contrary it becomes with the movie's slow paced. Not only the story line being highlighted, but also the out-look and the music in this movie deserves a notice. Scenes with literature meanings, gets you to actually think, not just stare. The music sounds like a silent orchestra, gives you this nostalgic feels, the get-away and the returning to home, adds to the theme of this film. The two things created such hollow and vague atmosphere, that your mind will be lost in it. As for the dialogue, it was also something that feels very close to home. It's intimate, sometimes a little awkward, bringing this movie to life. And each character's dialogue truly highlights their personality *watch to see*, showing the contradiction between the two characters, but only to develop into something touching, sweat and adorable.
