This is a nice movie. Two young men meet who had known each other as very young children. They enjoy reconnecting and spending time together. One has an interest in photography. The other is evidently vacationing in the area with his somewhat estranged father and new mother-in-law. It's not an oppressive setting, but one lacking in joy--a hot Chilean summer, an unwelcoming space with the father and new mother-in-law, and for Diego an alcoholic mother though they seem to have a decent relationship. Diego realizes he has a growing attraction to Sebastian and comes to accept it. His mother seems to get it as well. Love does not blossom between the two young men, but Diego seems to understand himself better and feel good about himself.
