    9/10

    Impressively modern and mature gay Spanish movie ahead of its time

    Good dialogues and well developed plot and characters in a movie shot in a Spain that had just come out of Franco's National Catholic (Clerical fascism) dictatorship and censorship and was desperate to breath and show freedom.
