Those familiar with LGBTQ+ films, particularly those originating in South America, will likely find the storyline fairly commonplace. The narrative follows characters like “Demos” (Yorgos Tsiantoilas) and his close friend “Nikitas” (Andreas Labropoulos), a setup seen repeatedly—a character harboring feelings for a friend who doesn't return them as desired, coupled with frequent nudity and energetic jogging scenes involving “Thymios” (Vasilis Tsigristaris). Nikitas is also navigating the aftermath of a four-year relationship with “Panos” (Nikolaos Mihas), during which they shared responsibility for their dog, “Carmen.” Can you keep up? The story that unfolds is rather straightforward, framed by the idea that Demos and Nikitas are contemplating writing a film about this emotionally intense situation. Throughout, characters engage in introspection as they confront personal struggles, with the hope of growth. There’s a distinctly European approach to casual encounters, which might strike some as bold compared to more restrained depictions of sex found elsewhere, though it doesn't quite reach the level of “Theo and Hugo” (2016). Ultimately, it’s a film about self-discovery and recognizing what’s directly in front of you. However, using the filmmaking process to create a sense of detachment made me feel like an intrusive observer, someone who didn’t entirely fit in or particularly want to be there. The performances are believable and competent; the cinematography is lovely, and several spirited musical numbers add some energy. Despite these positives, I felt it was overly intricate and lacked originality.
