I was very interested in this semi-forgotten (but also appreciated) film, I give the highest marks for the acting. Mark Gil was Mr. Actor (yes, he was...) and his list of roles is as long as a song, and here he plays Bastian, an elderly artist. Seconding him as a lover is Junjun Quintana in the role of young Philip, for which he won success at two film festivals. And that he is a likeable and beautiful actor is probably not doubted by anyone or few. Their relationship is what it is, and Philip, thanks to his kindness, tries to help his older brother's family, which is struggling with poverty in the slum, earning extra money with his body and with other men. The film also maps all the miseries of poor people on the outskirts of the big city, their problems and the pitfalls that life brings. Pleasantly sad surprise...
