CGiii Comment

Revolutionary politics - from the gay and straight perspectives - are thrown around...and the ensuing friendship that results therein.

Delicate and deftly done with a rare amount of intelligence for a movie that is labelled gay.

Important.

The(ir) Blurb...

Diego, a cultivated, homosexual and skeptical young man, falls in love with a young heterosexual communist full of prejudices and doctrinal ideas. First come rejection and suspicion, but also fascination.
