I came across this movie on youtube and found the trailer interesting so my wife and I watched it two nights ago.
It is a Spanish-Venezuelan production directed by Miguel Ferrari, a soap opera actor who appeared in chapter 1 of the Spanish series "Los hombres de Paco" and director and screenwriter of some Venezuelan films including "Bolivar el hombre de las dificultades".
The script written by himself, deals with very current and controversial issues such as homosexuality, transsexuality, gender violence and homophobia, from the perspective of the protagonists.
The plot revolves around Diego Martinez, played by Guillermo Garcia Alvarado, who for some years was dedicated to the Spanish dubbing of cartoons and movies and before this work had also acted in soap operas and two films, the last one called "El ultimo cuerpo", who is a successful arts and fashion photographer who has a relationship with Fabrizio.
In addition to this, he had a son named Armando, played by Ignacio Montes, a young Spanish actor, who by fate went with his mother to Spain and returns to spend a few days with him, at a time when a tragedy caused by homophobia happens to him.
Also a major part of the cast is veteran Venezuelan telenovela actress Hilda Abrahamz, who plays the role of Delirio del Rio, a transsexual who works in the artistic field, this being her debut on the big screen.
The work has good photography, the details in each scene are very well cared for and represents a cry of alert to the necessary coexistence between people with different sexual tendencies.
It was released on November 27, 2012 in Venezuela and on the 30th of the same month internationally and the critics' opinion was positive, being considered one of the best films of Venezuelan cinema, lasting almost eight months in theaters and having more than 600 thousand spectators who left about 5 million dollars at the box office.
It won the Goya Award for best Ibero-American film in 2013 and in 2014 won the audience award at the Festivals, Pink Apple in Switzerland and Face à Face de Saint-Etienne in France.
An option for those who are not prejudiced about the themes it touches, suitable for adults only.
