TLDR

“She’s beautiful, and I can’t describe the other quality.”

What it's about

A museum guide with Asperger’s Syndrome develops a crush on his new coworker, and must learn a lot of new habits and emotions that come with the territory.

The take

This film is immediately charming and spends ample time taking you through the mind of Goyo, to where you see where the wheels start turning in his head for each new interaction. It captures his infatuation, obsession, discomfort, and panic, without overdoing or over-explaining anything. Goyo himself (Nicolás Furtado) is an excellent heart of the show with his friendliness and sincerity, but stealing the show alongside him are his and Matute’s (Pablo Rago) solid sibling dynamic and Saula’s (Soledad Villamil) ice cold confrontation skills when you get to see it. It’s a very sweet film that avoids being cheesy, and I imagine Goyo himself would find this movie to be decent if he saw it.

What stands out

“Fuck’s sake, why is this happening to me!” after a bad argument is hilarious.
