    This hits home hard...I had the chance to spend the night with someone that I loved but opted not to because I was afraid. He died the next day, This is the only regret that I have in my life.

    The title of the book with the yellow and white cover that is on the coffee table in the last scene (in Español) is J D Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye”…. The main character of the novel struggles as young man to be able to relate to other people. The two guys struggle to express how they feel toward each other. …until it is too late to do so, except for the “extra-ordinary”, “super-ordinary” communication. Powerful short film! How much love have we (I) lost out of fear and caution, worrying about what the other may think or feel. Oh my…

    This is a film you need to watch several times to capture all the subtle nuances between the 2 main characters. As much as I enjoyed this film, I just wish the LGBT+ community could have more happy endings. Bravo to directors/writers.

    This was confusing as hell. The second I started to care about the characters it turned into a supernatural murder mystery. The chemistry is there, the acting is okay, the cinematography is stellar...but the writing lost me.

    What a terribly sad film. It underlines why people should say 'I love you' to those that they do. Remember 'love' is natural and has no boundaries or human control. We all look for love, and when it comes it is magic, irrespective of gender. Hate and prohibition is taught.

      @@gibby3198 Are you American? Probably. Because you didn't get my point. In your country, it is anything but "un-thinkable" to get shot at and die from. Since 1960 until today more people have died in your country from domestic shootings - all killed by "friendly fire" - than in all wars combined the US was ever involved in, since your Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq... so this is not a gay movie, it's an (anti-)NRA movie... - Peace.🕊
