Un rubio

In the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Gabriel (Gabo), a young widower, shares a flat with Juan, a colleague who is visited almost every evening by a woman. Shy and reserved, Gabo cannot ignore Juan's initially sneaky, progressively insistent looks and advances. What begins as casual sex quickly turns into a passionate and intense relationship. Directed by Marco Berger, whose films ("Taekwondo," "Mariposa") have marked the history of the festival, "Un rubio" reaches a new milestone. Delivering an accomplished, torrid film, Berger's unparalleled ability to capture the tension of desire and sensuality of male bodies shines.
