CGiii Comment

The character of David is possibly the most repulsive you will ever witness - which makes it almost impossible to believe that anyone could feel anything for him.

It's a case of the bisexuals getting it in the back again (pardon the imagery).

The delusion and the intensity really do make this film an unpleasant experience - no matter how good the production values are (the stunt work is amateur)...the story is lame, lurid and utterly indulgent.

The(ir) Blurb...

When Jaume Clarà (Josep M. Pou), a college professor, is told he is terminally ill, he is forced to confront his own mortality. As he drafts his last will and testament, he ponders several meaningful relationships in his life. He is in love with one of his students, David (David Selvas) -- who in tu… Morern has gotten the daughter of Jaume's best friend, Pere (Mario Gas), pregnant. With his days numbered, Jaume struggles to arrange for those he loves to be cared for, both physically and emotionally.
