Plan B
Bruno's attempt to win back his ex-girlfriend takes an unexpected turn when he befriends her handsome new boyfriend.
When Bruno's attempts to win back his ex-girlfriend prove unsuccessful, he formulates a plan to befriend her current partner, Pablo, in an attempt to break up the couple. As the friendship between the two boys develops, Bruno begins to flirt with Pablo, and soon their relationship takes a detour that neither of them expected.
With strikingly natural performances from the two male leads, Marco Berger's debut feature is a subtly complex look at male friendships and nascent desires. As the motivations behind Bruno's plan become increasingly unclear, the film generates palpable levels of tension, verging on suspenseful during their increasingly exploratory encounters.
Warm and relaxed, and presented with a strong sense of realism, ‘Plan B’ charms throughout, achieving levels of emotional honesty that never for a second feel forced or contrived. The cast includes Manuel Vignau, Lucas Ferraro, Mercedes Quinteros. (subtitles)
