Laura and Carlos love each other as if every day was the last, and perhaps that first love intensity is what will tear them apart a year later.
This low-profile romantic drama about intense first love follows a fairly conventional arc of passion and dissolution. The performances bring some warmth and authenticity, and the cinematography is competent without being distinctive. The narrative treads familiar territory of passionate love that burns too bright to last, offering little that distinguishes it from countless similar romance films. The ending resolves predictably, and the overall conception lacks a singular voice or fresh perspective to elevate it above the genre norm.
