Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Lorenzo, a quiet teenager lives in a small town at the edge of the world in beautiful Patagonia. He’s a good student and a curious and smart person, more skilled in music and literature than sports. Lorenzo’s father decides to host Caito, the son of a friend from Buenos Aires who had to go to hospital for a long stay. Caito has obviously a different family background and seems to be a tough kid. Lorenzo finds Caito very intriguing in many ways as they start spending a lot of time together…

This is billed as a gay movie, but it really wasn't. When a family takes in a house guest their son becomes good friends with him, but that's it they are just best friends for the whole movie. Near the end there are two scenes that may indicate that the son started to catch feelings, but even if he did it wasn't acted on or spoken about. It wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't a gay movie either.
