6.0

"Fernando" (Paul Act) wakes up in a strange apartment with absolutely no recollection of how he got there, or indeed of where "there" actually is. Shortly afterwards, his host "Miguel" (Eduardo Longoria) appears and (very) slowly, and after a tentative start, they try to put together just what happened to bring them to that moment. It's told via flashbacks - and prepare yourselves for plenty of sex as we gradually unravel what was a fairly horrific evening for our young "Fernando". An evening which both of them decide to try and avenge. The version I saw looked a little like a poor NTSC conversion, which didn't help - but the two performances are quite strong and, ultimately caring and loving. The dialogue is fairly sparing and the slow pace really is quite an effort - though once you do finally get to the end, you appreciate much of the function of the hitherto ponderous pace. It's clearly been done on a shoestring, but don't let that put you off - give it a go. It's got something about it...
