In a picturesque country house in Buenos Aires, Fernando gathers his mates for a boys-only vacation. Free from work, responsibilities and their girlfriends, this close-knit gang of bros kick back by the pool, sharing pot-fuelled stories of sexual conquests. The guys have known each other for years, only this time Fernando has brought with him newcomer Germ\u00e1n, a friend from his taekwondo class. As the lazy summer days disappear, the connection between Fernando and Germ\u00e1n grows and slowly the boundaries of their relationship begin to blur. <\/p>\n
A veritable masterclass in will-they-won\u2019t-they suspense, this gloriously protracted, beautifully nuanced tease is both wantonly titillating and disarmingly sweet. Marco Berger and Mart\u00edn Farina luxuriate in the homoerotics of this male-centric milieu, lingering longingly over the semi-clad bodies with unapologetic gay abandon.<\/p>\n<\/div>
