Set up in Patagonia, the story first introduce us to Lorenzo - a shy, soft-spoken boy, that follow the rules and likes to read and football - who lives with his family, mother, father and a younger brother. One morning, his father Andrés, informs them that an old friend of his has asked him to take care of his son for sometime, Caito, which his wife, Camila, reluctantly agrees on.
Caito arrives to the family and is first received by Lorenzo, they talked and wait for the rest of them. From there on, the movie goes to really standard coming-of-age queer movie probes, Caito is a revel, with drug problems and poor set up boundaries, the total opposite of Lorenzo, but yet they become "best friends", sharing their time and deepest secrets.
In general, the movie is so by-the-book it ends up being boring. Their homosexuality is barely hinted on both cases in different scenes, but never really fully fleshed in the interactions of both main characters. The ending is so default that it's not really a spoiler to say it.
The acting is good except for the guy that plays Caito. His long stares and lack of emotion is really distracting. Also, I don't know how old the actors are, but they're supposed to be one year apart from one another but they look at least four.
All the technical aspects are good, good cinematography, sound, etc. It's the story that needed to be more fleshed out.
