For something that I cannot explain, I really like the style of Marco Berger, slow pacing and with scenes that feels like we are voyeurs (as what others have already said) in lives of these people. It portrays an illusion of the common people (damn these boys are hot) and their day to day activities, and in this case, a summer outing of childhood friends. These adds some level of authenticity and with a free script that seemed to be ad-libbed, I find it very fascinating.
I was most attracted to Férnando or Fér, the guy who invited Gérman whom he met in their Taekwondo class for over a year ago. He is such a cool and cute guy and I felt that he's the romantic type and loves for love. He exudes this feeling for most of the film and especially in the part when he was lovingly looking at Gérman lounging at the pool and he was with his friend and the friend noticed how he looks at Gérman. I wonder really if Gérman deserves him and if he also truly feels like what Fér do. Part of these problem seemed to be because we don't get much history on how they developed their friendship and if Gérman really cares about him not just because he's hot, adorable and all the wonderful things Fér is. A criticism that I can give is that they should have addressed this on the third part of the film since I also agree that the third part can be pared down.
Overall, I recommend this film to people who are not easily bored (don't be, plenty of eye candy here) and likes to be teased. I have already watched this three times!
P.S
If you want to watch more of the works of Marco Berger, you should also try Plan B, this is a better execution of what I would have liked with the story of Fer and Gérman to get the authenticity that they both feel the same way.
