Sinopsis:

For seven days, Gerardo, a gay teenager, roams the streets of Mexico City in search of someone able to reveal the secret hidden between the lines of the goodbye letter left behind by Bruno, a passing lover he fell in love with only two days after meeting him. On this journey, he encounters people who have forgotten their need to love and be loved and who are unable to give him the affection he needs to stay alive.
Winner of the Teddy Award for best gay/lesbian film at the 2003 Berlinale, Julián Hernández's debut feature film is a melancholy meditation on love and loneliness.
