Matias and Jeronimo know each other since childhood. Their friendship takes a new turn during the holiday before starting high school when they both experience their sexual awakening. Matias's father breaks up their relationship by accepting a job very far away. Family's contempt against homosexuality brings Matias to deny his friend and himself. More than ten years later, Matias returns to his old town for carnival with his girlfriend. He unexpectedly runs into Jeronimo. Feelings will slowly reappear and will reach a climax, but at what price?

Notes
Yes -- the plot is predictable; there are no surprises - but overall Esteros is well-done -
There is my oft repeated complaint about the captions - they are a hard to read white font, sized too small, and flashed too fast -- fortunately, there is to little subtlety in the dialogue to make its comprehension important. It's an easy problem to fix -- yellow, larger, slower· Apparently captions are too small a detail for film schools to cover.
