CGiii Comment
Unfortunately, there are too many things wrong with this film...to make it even remotely credible.
The actors who speak Catalan are dubbed (by what seems different actors) into Spanish and the actors who can't speak Catalan speak Spanish...therefore, the sound is all over the place...and, those dubbed characters come across as slightly moronic.
Possibly, the most ridiculous place to be caught, by one's girlfriend, having gay sex...well, that's what happens when girls enter the forbidden territory of the male changing room!
The sub-plots are unnecessary and intrusive - it would be too easy to blame these scenes on the haphazard pace of the film when, in truth, it's just the haphazard direction that is at fault.
And, it all boils down to that same old selfish bisexual thang - will they all end up in bed together?!? Well, the poster gives it all away! Not exactly clever.
On a more positive note...the colourist did a fantastic job.

The(ir) Blurb...
Struggling martial artist and dancer Bruno loves his girlfriend Carla, but when he meets fellow dancer Rai, serious sparks begin to fly, opening the couple up to new possibilities. A new generation navigates sexual fluidity, torn affections, and open relationships in this steamy love triangle. But once Bruno's clandestine encounters with Rai are revealed, a confused and hurt Carla kicks him out. But she simply doesn't want to give up on her love. Eventually she agrees that Bruno can date them both as long as he keeps his life with Rai relatively separate.
