Movie description:
Santiago, Chile, in 1986. Luchito is 13 years old and feels deeply attracted to Manuel, a 16-year-old neighbour. Luchito masturbates whilst watching the window of an adjacent building where Manuel is enjoying a sexual encounter with a neighbourhood girl. The window becomes an erotic stage that arouses Luchito’s curiosity – but this has catastrophic consequences for Manuel.
Chile, 1986. Luchito masturbates while he contemplates Manuel, his 16-year-old neighbor, whom he can see standing by a window. Manuel discovers his sexuality. The window turns into an erotic cinematographic world that awakens a curiosity in Luchito, with disastrous repercussions for Manuel.
In 1986 Santiago, Luchito (David) is only beginning to discover his own sexuality, having unexpected reactions when pressed against strange men on a crowded bus and watching men playing football in the local fields. He starts to understand his own desires when he notices 16-year-old Manuel (Campos), who lives in the apartment block next to his, having sex with his girlfriend. When police raid the neighbourhood looking for revolutionaries, things take a startling turn. Shot with a real sense of the time and setting, the film really gets under this boy’s skin, letting us see his conflicting emotions. And the political element gives the film a potent impact, weaving in historical events that feel eerily resonant. All of this has a razor sharp ring of truth to it, as if the filmmakers are vividly remembering real events. But even more recognisable are the blurry feelings young Luchito can’t quite understand.
