What did I just see? The summary of the show read - Six short chapters that dive into the many possibilities of "sex" and "love." Naturally I was curious a the fact. That it was 6 episodes of approximately 15 minutes each, I was looking forward to it. By the end f it, I am so confused as to what were the makers really trying to say. Also I really couldn't follow the storyline. The detailed description of this series reads something like this - We meet, we get to know each other, we fall in love; we kiss, we embrace, we get physical, and we enjoy the moment, but does it mean that we really have each other? Is it possible that all kinds of desires, both physical and abstract, can make a difference in a relationship? Because even though I love you, I still think of others.
Episode 1: Sad Attachment
The protagonist and his boyfriend Marco have a steady relationship, but when he meets Joaquin at the same time, he develops an unexpected connection.
Episode 2: Engagement/Disengagement
Joaquin and his boyfriend CJ talk about everything under the sun; for the two of them, their partner provides comfort to the other's existence.
Episode 3: Deep Connection
Even though CJ and Joaquin are inseparable, the two of them appear to be free in their own lives, maintaining a delicate method of getting along with each other.
Episode 4: Isolated Links
Joaquin maintains contact with his boyfriend during quarantine, but the two of them have fallen into silence at times.
Episode 5: Third Element
The protagonist and Joaquin each return to their own circles of comfort and get back to their respective stable lives.
Episode 6: Lonely Connections
The protagonist has found a new partner, but they don't seem to be a good match for each other, so he considers breaking things off early.
I have to admit , the synopsis above of individual episodes is something I am copying from internet. Even after reading through this, the series really didn't make a head or tail for me. There was a decent amount o nudity in the show and I think in hope of going something very philosophical and artsy. I understand that idea was to show that you could still be alone while being in a relationship, but what's the point when no one can understand what you are trying to say. It defeats the purpose. Big yawn for me. (1.5/10)
