is Alberto gay?
2 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
When I started watching this movie I saw a woman that was happy, happy to go home to her husband and child. Then there were signs that her husband, Alberto was cheating. I knew that Alberto was having an affair but with who was the question? when I found out that it was a male it was a complete shock. Was he gay? Throughout the film I wondered if he was gay or not? I realized that he is actually just using Diego for sex.

Alberto's promises his wife that the affair will end yet, he still sees Diego. Somehow, I feel sorry for Diego because he has this hope that He and Alberto will be a couple. I thought that he doesn't want to hurt his wife nor Diego but I realized that his continuing this affair for his own pleasure. He wants the wife and child at home and the gay life behind closed doors.

His wife tries to work through her marriage but he rejects her. On the other hand he gives Diego all this attention but no commitment. Diego just accepts the way Alberto treats him because he gets the attention and affection from Alberto.

I think that Alberto uses Diego for the sex but somehow when they are alone he is soft and even tells Diego about his childhood.

Alberto won't leave his wife because she familiar but he doesn't want to let go of Diego because he is actually Gay. I think that he hides behind women to prove that he is not gay.

overall, i enjoyed watching the movie but it had some explicit sex scenes.
