sabe quando você é adolescente e está se descobrindo lgbt? e tem uma garota que provavelmente é hetero que voce gosta e ela se aproveita disso? O filme é sutil e é lindo Celine trouxe simplicidade, ,descoberta e confusão com essas personagens femininas. eu amei
La primera película de la directora de “Retrato de una mujer en llamas”. Buena ópera prima.
Mesma diretora de portrait com a mesma atriz também, amo elas juntas teria feito um trisal sim.... o filme não é ótimo, revi e gostei mais do que tinha gostado antes, fala sobre a descoberta sexual e primeiros amores.
Drama/romance. El interés de una niña en unirse al equipo local de natación sincronizada va más allá de los deportes acuáticos.
