When they were children, Marty and Jello were very good friends in a small town in Argentina. When he was a child, Marty often went to play with Jello. They fished together, climbed mountains together, fought and had a very happy time.
Marty's favorite thing is to spend the summer with Gerald and his family on the farm near the lake. They'll swim by the lake together, chase each other, and then go home in muddy clothes, not forgetting when they shower. play tricks on each other. Summer seemed to last forever, and they didn't want it to end. During a puberty awakening, the two develop a relationship that transcends friendship.
Marty's father seems to have sensed the relationship, accepted a job in Brazil, and the family moved to Brazil. Although Jero was very reluctant, he had to accept this irreversible reality. Ten years later, everything seems to have flown by with time. Marty became a biologist and had a beautiful girlfriend; Gerald worked in the film industry, doing animation and special effects, making handmade dolls, and occasionally doing makeup.
The girlfriend's cousin is going to hold a graduation carnival event. Marty accompanies his girlfriend back to the town to participate in the event. Unexpectedly, the makeup artist hired by his girlfriend is Jello. They recognized each other at a glance, and Geral had a lot of things he wanted to say to Marty at the moment, but he didn't find the right opportunity. After carefully helping Marty paint the zombie makeup, in order to make the zombie makeup more prominent, he lent him his coat.
Marty's girlfriend named Jello also participated in the carnival activities. Jello shied away that there were other activities and left in a hurry. At the carnival ball, Marty, wearing a jello coat, looked sullen. He bid farewell to his girlfriend and came to the river alone. Childhood memories flooded his mind like a flood.
Then, while shopping with his girlfriend, Marty sees Jello cuddling with other men, and somehow realizes that he's eating the wrong thing. That night, Marty took out his computer and searched Gerald's social networking pages, trying to make up for Gerald's life trajectory after he left.
Later, in the name of returning the clothes, he went to Jello, in fact, he wanted to see Jello again. After learning that Jello was going to the farm to deliver something to his mother, Marty also wanted to go with him. At this time, his girlfriend happened to make an appointment with his cousin and said that he could not go together.
At night when she went to bed, her girlfriend, who seemed to be aware, said to Marty, "Can we stay here tomorrow and not go anywhere? We can stay in bed and relax all day. Don't tell me, we have appointments and we can't miss them. ." Marty didn't seem to hear his girlfriend's voiceover, and only said: "Don't be lazy." Girlfriend: "You want to go back, don't you?" Marty: "I want to go see the farm!" It was useless to say anything, so I stopped talking.
They return to the farm with fond childhood memories, the city is changing rapidly, and time seems to stand still here, and everything seems to be the same ten years ago. Familiar dogs, familiar potted plants, familiar lakes, familiar everything... Geral took Marty's favorite food as a child and went boating by the lake. At this time, the surroundings were completely empty, and the whole world seemed to be the only two of them left.
They ate and chatted, and each spoke what was in their hearts. Geralt says that what he wants most is to open his eyes every day and see the person he loves lying next to him; Marty mocks Geralt's way of life.
The summer sky changed its face when it said that it changed its face. The sun was shining just a moment ago, but it was pouring rain at this time. The two hurried back to the cottage on the farm. Geralt told Marty that, looking at the situation, the rain would not stop for a while, Marty anxiously called his girlfriend, but there was no signal after several calls. Marty ran back into the car in the rain, as if trying to avoid something, as if he had told his girlfriend everything about the farm when he was a kid, except for Geralt.
The rain was so heavy that the car could not drive, after calming down in the car. Marty returned to the house and turned on the radio in the awkward atmosphere. It was their favorite music when they were children. The two then took out the wine and drank to their favorite music.
Under the influence of alcohol, Marty finally stopped suppressing himself, came behind Gero, and the two kissed together, which Gero had been waiting for for a long time. As soon as he opened his eyes, it was the next day, and Jello's parents had also returned and prepared breakfast. After eating a few bites in a hurry, Jello, who had guessed Marty's mind, looked at the watch and said that if he was going to go to his girlfriend before noon, he had to leave now.
Neither of them spoke in the car. Marty suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road. He was about to explain something to Geralt: "Jero, I..." Gero, who seemed to understand everything, interrupted: " I know, you have a girlfriend there, you have a job, you have your whole life. I don't want to deal with that."
Some lost Marty went back to the city to find his girlfriend, but he didn't expect his girlfriend to see that his relationship with Jello was unusual. With the encouragement of his girlfriend, Marty finally understood what he really wanted, dared to face his heart and mustered up the courage to find Jello, and kissed him in public.
The plot of this play seems to be old-fashioned, but it doesn't feel like a play at all during the viewing process. Whether playing the two protagonists' childhood actors or grown-up actors, their looks are unbelievable, and the beauty of Argentina, which can be used as a screensaver by just taking a frame, makes Leilei immersed in it. Now I finally understand why Wong Kar-Wai's "Breakthrough" was filmed in Argentina. After watching the movie, Leilei also had the urge to go to Argentina to see it.
