Info

While his parents are away for the summer, 16-year-old Dani invites his best friend, the irrepressible Nico, to stay for the holidays. Jealously rears its head when Nico appears more interested in the local girls than in Dani. Hot summer nights and too many joints lead to experimentation which neither boy can talk about, a situation complicated by the appearance of the older and openly gay Julián, a published writer and old friend of Dani’s father.

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
PodBill Just what I expected
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Kirpianuscus a simple story about summer holiday, an old friendship and the force of sexuality in the relations between characters. everything presented in honest manner.and the result is real seductive. and credible because it is a large slice of teens life, defined by discoveries, confessions, desires and the understand of truth about yourself. and the summer air is the best ingredient for give force and delicacy and right colors to the story. the surprise could be the remarkable performance of two lead young actors. and the wise way to write the dialogues. so, a beautiful eulogy to an unique age and about the nuances of friendship in its frontiers.
G S Krampack tells the story of Nico and Dani, two 17 year old teens. Nico stays with Dani cause his parents are on holiday. Together they want to do stuff, but two girls interfer. Nico is playing the playboy but like a very unsure insecure teen of course. Dani doesn't like the coupling, you will find out when you see the movie. The two boys discover their sexuality and like every boy growing up they struggle with it. The two Spanish boys put on a great performance. I very much liked this movie and wished i saw it sooner. I think it is a must view for all teens around the globe, and i am sure everyone finds something recognizable. Try to see it! :)
dwr246 This movie is for every gay man or lesbian who had a crush on their best friend, but could do nothing about it. This is a delightful exploration of the sexual awakening of two friends who come to radically different conclusions, and yet still manage to be there for each other.Dani (Fernando Ramallo) is left alone at his family's beach house for the summer. While there, he is tutored by Sonia (Ana Garcia), a surprisingly astute young woman. He invites his best friend, Nico (Jordi Vilches), to come stay with him for awhile. As the two have grown and become more sexually aware, they have resorted to the "krampack" to relieve their sexual frustrations in the absence of girls to sleep with. Dani is perfectly happy with this arrangement, and indeed is looking forward to continuing it with Nico. Nico, on the other hand, is looking forward to moving on to experiences with girls. So, when he meets Berta (Esther Nubiola), who is just as interested in him as he is in her, he is delighted. And being a good friend, he tries to set Dani up with Berta's friend, Elena (Marieta Orozco). Dani, however would prefer to be with Nico. To further complicate things, Dani strikes up a friendship with Julian (Chisco Amado), a handsome young writer in town for the summer to whom he is mutually attracted, although both are a little uncomfortable about Dani's youth. Through affairs, misunderstandings, and a disastrous dinner party, the story moves along to an inevitable, yet satisfying conclusion.This is a nicely handled story. There is little judgment passed on the characters' sexualities, as what seems to be important is self acceptance. It is also nice to see that Nico and Dani remain true to their friendship, despite the fact that their desires are quite different. Conflicts are handled and resolved in a believable way.The acting is delightful. Amado and Garcia do a nice job as the older and wiser adults, who still struggle with issues of their own. Orozco plays the shy adolescent to perfection, and contrasts nicely with Nubiola's more confident and beautiful young woman. Likewise Vilches and Ramallo contrast nicely with each other, and yet still portray a believable friendship.All in all, an excellent portrayal of adolescent sexual discovery in all its myriad forms. A movie well worth seeing.
dmago This movie shows a too simple story about friendship between two youngsters, one of them a homosexual. It´s a very boring movie a the dialogues are nothing but awful and non dramatics. Just another movie from Spain where nothing happens. Too art for few ideas
