Berger clearly lov the laddish mararie between men, even as he gently satiris machismo and emphasis s homoerotic unrton. The fact that the protagonists are women fightg agast male opprsn is of far more tert to Puenzo than their homosexualy. The blend of fantasy and realism is betifully realised by filmmaker Javier Fuent-León, who origally nceived the story about a hetereosexual affair wh a sex worker, before changg the characters when he himself me out as gay.
