CGiii Comment

Incredibly well-made...but, the pace is just a little too slow.

It does come over - at times - as an informercial regarding safe sex, HIV testing and feet sucking!

Not bad...pick up the pace and less of the preaching!

The(ir) Blurb...

Orlando and Saul meet by accident. The first one is a self-confident young man, university gymnast who avoids that his HIV-positive status defines him; while Saul, on the opposite, is insecure and barely understands what having an active sexual life means. The meeting will result in a new way of seeing life, one without fear where sex is an encounter and not a way of getting away from others.
