CGiii Comment

Same old same old - cocky kids coming to terms with their willies.

Only, in this film, they already know what it's for - and, this leads to some rather disturbing events.

Unpalatable to say the least. 

Ultimately, bordering on the unbelievable...with some decent performances.

There is a valid argument here...irresponsible film-making - some kids might relate...and you know where that can lead!!!

Still...unnerving and worthwhile.

The(ir) Blurb...

Coming of age, on a Barcelona beach, during an eventful week: Nico arrives at Dani's for part of the summer. Dani's parents are away, Nico is keen to lose his virginity, and Dani, who's been Nico's friend since grammar school, wants time only with Nico. Dani's plans to hunt and fish are waylaid when Nico catches the eye of Elena and her cousin Berta. He wants to go to the beach with the girls, cook them dinner, and make love to at least one of them. Dani wants social and physical contact with Nico. Watching from a short distance are Sonia, Dani's tutor, and Julian, a gay writer, who picks up Dani's vibes. Can Nico and Dani sort out friendship as well as their mixed desires?
