Nico and Dani Movie Review 2000

Best buddies Nico (Vilches) and Dani (Ramallo) are 17-year-old virgins who hope to change that situtaion while on a Spanish beach vacation. Nico has the hots for pretty Elena (Orozco), who returns his interest, which leaves her cousin Berta (Nubiola) pining for Dani. Too bad Dani realizes that he not only loves Nico, he's IN love with him and that Nico doesn't share his sexual feelings. Dani finds a mentor in an older gay man (Amado) but the situation remains tangled in an all-too realistic (if somewhat overly sunny) way. Based on the play "Krampack" by Jordi Sanchez. Spanish with subtitles.
