It gets better, even in Spain

Warning: Spoilers
Two best buddies, Jota and Santi, are baking in the summer heat of a Madrid day when Jota discloses that he's broken up with his girlfriend. Santi, who's built Jota's lady-killing ways into a legend in his own mind, won't be satisfied until Jota discloses who his new love interest is.

When a Scientology Personality test discloses a bit too much about Jota Santi is initially shocked but...

I loved this little short though I had to be a speed reader to get all the subtitles. Santi is like one of those irrepressible yappy dogs that never shuts up but the way he adjusts to Jpota's disclosure makes for a happy ending for this cute short.

The situation is played for comedy throughout but it's so much more hopeful than those Eloy de Iglesia films of the 70s Maybe it does get better even in macho countries like Spain.

nice. and little more

Two friends. Very different. And a truth changing, at the first sigh, everything. A lovely short film for the inspired construction of characters. And for great atmosphere. A simple, not so easy comedy about friendship, secrets, temptations and the complementarity between two real different guys in a summer day.
