An intimate and erotic drama that pays homage to the late gay Argentine author Manuel Puig. Shot almost entirely in arty and gritty black-and-white, the film has Carlitos, a young Brazilian guy, meeting his older Uruguayan lover Carlos for an extended tryst in a Buenos Aires hotel room. This romance features many tender, playful, and sexy moments, from the opening scene of Carlitos in bed, to a collage of images of the couple at the film’s end. Oliverio and the actors deftly capture the lovers’ palpable sense of desire in this striking low-budget film.

Directed by Pablo Oliverio
