- Winner, Festival De Cannes: Best Director
- "A work of staggering genius" - Indiewire.com
- "Extraordinary" - Deadline
Starring Spanish music sensation Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, Julio Torres, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close. From Cannes-winning directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi (Los Javis).
Ambrossi says "....For me, it’s part of the ongoing fight, it’s even a political decision. To have three openly gay men leading a major film, that’s still rare. Even today, many LGBTQ+ stories are told by straight actors. We wanted this film to truly be made by gay men, not just about them."
