Argentinian writer and director Alexis Dos Santos delivered an honest look at contemporary youth with this charming and quirky film. Two teenagers who share an apartment in London without ever meeting try to find themselves while being lost in the world. The Spaniard Axl is looking for his father whom he's never known and the French Vera who looks for love after a heartbreak. Dos Santos manages to make a credible film that's hip and stylish without trying to hard or losing focus. The world of teenagers are universal with similar themes of identity and sexuality. London seems the perfect place where the characters could meet but could be replaced with any of the European cities with similar results. Fernando Tielve and Déborah François are perfectly cast the two protagonists on the search for themselves. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
