Will (Terry) buys his husband Adam (Duplass)
one hundred on-line Spanish lessons with Cariño (Morales) in Costa Rica. The
plan is to have a lesson for one hour every Monday morning.
Only by the following Monday morning,
Will is dead, killed in a traffic accident. Adam grieves, Cariño comforts and
understands. The on-line video chats become something other than Spanish
lessons.
A simple concept but recognisable in these days since Covid isolation. It’s sad and funny and a lot deeper and more complicated than most feel-good films. The two stars are most appealing.
