-==Synopsis==
+==Plot==
-Ramón is a sexually active gay man with men coming and going from his bedroom. His best friend Esperanza is a single woman who can't seem to meet or like any men unless they are gay. Some would call Esperanza a fag hag, but she simply has great taste in men, she likes them gay! They go out together to the bars and Ramon always brings a man home while Esperanza goes home to an empty bed. She doesn't mind because she knows that she has Ramón's heart. That is until Ramón meets her fellow teacher, Roberto. Their relationship endangers the precious bond these two have formed.
+In Madrid, Ramón is a single gay man and a lawyer, searching for a long-term partner. His best friend, Esperanza, is a single woman and a teacher who struggles to find a man to date and, despite her affection for Ramón, harbors some jealousy for his sex life. She sets Ramón up with her coworker, PE teacher Roberto, which goes almost too well. The relationship between the two men starts to endanger the precious bond these Ramón and Esperanza have formed.<ref name=":0" />
-This colorful and somewhat hyper-active film is in the style of Almodóvar. There's always plenty of on-screen action, dialogue and color to keep the eyes and ears happy. It's a tender and intimate peek into the lives of two people that one seldom sees on screen. It seems as if Madrid is teeming with gorgeous gay men, after seeing Amor de Hombre it should be a stop in every gay man's life.
