Synopsis
Eugenio spends the summer looking after his aunt and uncle’s house - a place that once belonged to him - while seeking inspiration for a screenplay he is writing. Martín, currently unemployed, offers to handle various repairs around the house. The two met long ago as children but had not seen each other since. However, their renewed connection is built on deception: Martín has nowhere to sleep but lies to Eugenio about it, while Eugenio seems interested in Martín as something more than just a friend.

This is a lovely film. Mateo Chiarino is "Martin" a down on his luck young man who is looking for work. He stumbles across his childhood friend Manuel Vignau "Eugenio" who offers him some summer work as a handyman. The film then sedately turns into a love story. It is in no great rush to get anywhere; the photography is beautiful and the score gently nudges us to what we hope is the inevitable conclusion. The dialogue is sparing; much of the emotional tension is implied rather than imposed and though the lead characters are attractive, they are much less "pretty" than in, say, "Taekwondo". This is a classy piece of work.
