Two best friends spend the summer of their 16th year together at a beach house. Dani has realized that he has gay feelings, and this is the summer he will sort out his orientation. Nico is quite happy to play along with Dani. The "Krámpak" in the title is Spanish for mutual masturbation.
But their adolescent fumbling has different meanings for each boy. Dani has much deeper feelings for his pal than Nico seems to reciprocate. Dani knows he's gay, but is Nico gay?
This dichotomy is classic for boys at that age. Many boys engage in play with another boy, some discard it after a while, and others decide that this is their life choice.
The acting is a little wooden in this movie. However given the controversial theme of the script this is not hard to forgive. Both boys are good actors playing your typical adolescents with a sexual twist.
There is no heavy trauma in this movie. The ending will surprise the viewer. Not too many movies have treated adolescent gay sex in so positive a light. Three cheers for that! It is now the start of the new millennium - it's OK for boys to be gay. Yet in being gay there are still the difficulties in any relationship that all teenagers have to grapple with. And the real strength of this movie shows that even when two boys are ready to play, the course of true love is not easy.
