Right from the start this short draws one in. The voice-over by Israel Rodriguez playing Guillermo is apt and witty - the writer had a flash of genius.
The film's about cottaging and speaks to a truth rarely acknowledged - that young gay guys make the running in these situations. No one was exploiting Guillermo although some of his conquests were persistent. Rodriguez was eighteen when he appeared in this film and did a fantastic job both acting and speaking as a confident sixteen year old.
Bi-guy Asier played by Pablo Puyol (already twenty five here but meant to be an eighteen year old) had his hands full when he and Guillermo started dating. The lure of the cottage was still strong. But the slightly crass English title gives a clue as to what had happened in the interim.
I've seen this twice and even devised a set of French subtitles for a friend some years ago. I lost my copy of the film but would gladly watch it again.
