CGiii Comment

Strangely, this is billed as a comedy...

Gay man falls for a widowed woman - it's that old bisexual dilemma brought to the fore again...with nothing new added - perhaps, with a little less bitterness than usual.

The flaws are too numerous to mention...

It's not a terrible film...it's just very predictable...bisexuality really does not throw up any surprises...neither do these directors.

The(ir) Blurb...

Marga is having a streak of bad luck. Through her friendship with Rosa, she tries to regain her self-confidence, but love interests again create conflict. It is while developing a relationship with a handsome gay sculptor ten years her junior: Iñaqui, that she starts to improve. However, Marga and Iñaqui go beyond friendship, but are frustrated by their limitations. Ultimately, the two may have to settle for an "impossible" love relationship, as their unique best road to happiness.
