About growing up and facing yourself

I watched it intermittently for almost a day, and I even watched it repeatedly in some places. I always felt that I skipped it, but it didn't happen... For example, Juan died inexplicably...

Several actors acted really well, but there are not many places that seem to impress me in particular. There is a particularly beautiful scene where Juan teaches his children to swim. The camera is on a horizontal plane, accompanied by undulating waves with music, which reminds people of how his father taught himself to swim.

The plot is probably that there are also good people in drug dealers. Juan's actions and actions have affected the male protagonist's life. Although the male protagonist grows up and becomes strong, he also sells drugs, but he still remains shy and innocent in the face of his only good friend.

It's really funny that the male partner brushes his beard with a shoe-like brush in the male car. Do they all brush like this? They have to have it in the car...

I'm not interested in political metaphors at all, so to me it's just a nice story about growing up and facing yourself.

    A simple growth story, but the turbulent emotions are like ocean tides under the moonlight. It has nothing to do with skin color or sexual orientation. It is just about the growth of a boy, just like a person dancing the tango in "Happy Together", dancing and becoming what he is now. We will become people we can't imagine, but we will all remember the tide and moonlight of our first love.

    I like the interaction between the little boy and the drug lord the most, like a father but not like a father, young and ambiguous infatuation. But he just faded out of the lens so unexpectedly, it became a distant, sweet, untouchable dream.
