CGiii Comment
Strangely, this was marketed as a gay film - it's not.
By stretching the imagination a little too far - there could be some subtext lurking beneath it all...
For the budget, it's a decent little film - beautifully photographed and well performed.
The story is fairly typical, poor boy wants a better life...in walks the bank robber offering untold riches...will he, won't he???
A good example of delivering on a tight budget.

The(ir) Blurb...
Meet Angel -- twenty years old and barely employed, a guy of few friends and a not-too-promising boxing career. Angel and his mother scrape out a living in Madrid. Enter Vidal, a professional bank robber and a real charmer, just back from Argentina. A former boxer himself, with past ties to Angel's mother and Angel's deceased father, he offers Angel a way out of his dead-end life. Along the way, Angel will have to decide who he truly wants to be and more importantly, what he's willing to give up.
