CGiii Comment
Tiny budget - massive talent.
A simple story about a mundane love between to disparate men - with some unusual adversities: boxing, epilepsy and women.
Arriagada's atmosphere is like bad weather...there are chinks of sunlight but, on the whole, it's grey and wet and life still manages to go on.
The soundtrack, the dark cinematography, the subdued performances all help towards the realism...this a down-to-earth-warts-and-all kind of love, no camp, no money.....survival with added tenderness.
A truly moving experience.

The(ir) Blurb...
Unfazed by the attention he receives from women, Hugo searches for something meaningful to break up the monotony of his life. The young man becomes captivated with Octavio, a middle-aged local boxing champion, who must maintain a hard and gruff image for his fans and fellow fighters. When Octavio furtively acts on the subtle flirtations Hugo throws at him, he is abruptly rejected. Hugo tries to curtail his desire, but eventually surrenders to their magnetic attraction. They enter into an intense romance that would never be accepted in their small town in southern Chile. The couple moves to capital city Santiago with energized dreams of building their life together and protecting their love from a hostile world. But when Hugo confuses his feelings for a naive colleague at his new workplace, nothing turns out as planned.
