Interesting title but that's about the height of this rather humdrum short about "Fabián' (Rubén Cabrera). He is a visitor to Brussels and is trying to find something a little more than just a hookup. The thing is, he seems to have issues in not just in "performing" but with intimacy in general. Can the arrival at his flat of his friend "Stefan" (Andres Cifuentes) maybe help? Hmmm. Well, there's not really much substance to this story for the vie… read the rest.

Perhaps it was a labour of love for one (or more) of the half dozen writers, but this all comes across as rather an empty story on the screen. I didn't dislike "Fabián" but nor did I feel I knew him any better at the end nor really understand the source of his problem. It's quite nicely shot - it can't have had much of a budget - but the story and characterisations are distinctly lightweight.
