Gay Short Film - Un instante // An Instant (Adrià Guxens, 2017)
Фильм және анимация
SYNOPSIS
A year. A boy. An instant.
Hugo is a boy who lives anchored in the routine, focused on his tasks and responsibilities. Unable to look forward, he lets opportunities pass, stalling in the past. On the contrary, Cosmo is a free soul that lives without looking back, always going from one place to another no matter where. One summer afternoon their gazes cross by chance. It is only an instant, but it will be the birth of a relationship that will make them stop for the first time to live the present.
An instant is a story about friendship, love and the importance of the small moments that endow our lives with meaning.

No hay nada que te marque tanto como la ilusión de lo que pudo ser y no fue. Esa historia idealizada se queda como tatuaje. Esa persona que se cruza en nuestro camino en un instante, un minuto antes de verlo simplemente no existía en nuestra memoria... Y luego decide continuar su camino dejándonos en ese tren que avanza inexorablemente con un pasajero ausente, y llegará a la última estación sin darse cuenta que pasaron otras estaciones, y nunca se levantó del asiento porque fue más placentero habitar esos instantes 😸

Esa primera frase "No hay nada que te marque tanto como la ilusión de lo que pudo ser y no fue.” Caló bien profundo en mi ser y es verdad la pregunta que todos nos hacemos es que pudo llegar a ser y no fue 😢

Thanks for this. It seems difficult for people to show stories like this. Where there's longing, and emotion, and just... something living beyond the typical 'gay story.' Nothing so obvious as a stolen kiss, but maybe a stolen glance or two. I loved this film. The casting was spot on, and everything about it spoke to me more than I'd have thought possible for something so small. Not all films have to be grand declarations or tragedies, and this one encapsulated that feeling perfectly. So again, thank you for this.

The film is good, captures my atention since the beginings, the actor’s personalities is quite different, the eye to eye is the principal form to do the atracction relation. A lot of art in this film. I hope to see more of you guys. Thank a lot.

Deja un resabio de tristeza y melancolía de aquello que pudo ser y no llegó a ser. Tambien la ilusion de un eterno final feliz abortado por la indecisión de un momento. La Vida misma, en los ojos, y el corazon de dos personas. Nos deja la emocion contenida a flor de piel y la melancolía de lo que pudo ser. Un viaje al interior del alma...
The casting for the role of "still strikingly beautiful and charismatic alt/punk-guy, but who is also self-consciously getting too old to be that kind of guy anymore, but, then, what else is there for you to be in this world" is one of the best I've seen. /cheers; love.

Deliciously ambiguous. Hugo so longs for Cosmo; blown away when he sees Cosmo shirtless. Cosmo likes Hugo, but we don’t see him eyeing the shirtless Hugo. The homoerotic subtext is just right - - a subtext. Reminds me of a four-year relationship with a guy in college, a fraternity brother. I yearned for him. He liked me. We did non-sexual guy things together. Like Cosmo, he graduated and moved on and I never saw him again. But I cherish his memory. I wonder if he ever thinks of me.

Una historia agridulce llena de dulzura y sensibilidad, donde dos chicos en apariencia tan antagónicos miran por encima de lo superficial y ven lo mejor del corazón de cada uno. Si algo me ha enseñado la vida es que los que parecen duros es su coraza para que no le dañen su corazón frágil dispuesto a dar y recibir cariño. Hay quien ve a un niño bien y a un punk. Yo sólo veo ternura. Gracias por compartir tu mundo audiovisual y tu mundo en un planeta cada vez más insensible y violento. Necesitamos gente como tú. Que te vaya siempre bien en la vida. Abrazo osuno de una persona que aparenta ser ruda pero que como los personajes de tu historia sólo necesita dar y recibir cariño.

me encantó muchísimo la película, pero sería buenísimo si hubieran las leyendas en español, algunas veces es difícil para mí comprender todo que dicen en la primera vez
Wow, this tension with the silence made it even more emotional and deep than it would be with this much talking. You made me cry! I love when feelings come through the screen, may it be whatever feeling. I loved it! Also, beautiful pictures and colours! I think it is my favourite short film so far on this topic. Great job!

I loved this one and I will watch your another movies for sure. I just get confused with all these movies and series in which the actors are older than their characters. I mean, a guy on his twenties or almost thirties and playing teenagers on the screen. I know there's this law stuff! I'm not critizing your work specifically, you know that. I just really get confused! But! After all, congratulations for this kindness and loving story! Greetings from Brazil! And Happy New Year, by the way! 😍🎆😊🎉🎊🕺

Set in Barcelona, a young photography student captures the instants of attraction to another in photos but is incapable of more. In this age of selfies where the image is more important than reality, it becomes a sad reflection of a life unlived.

Well said: Hugo sees life through a camera, through an adjusted lens, only through his camera lens as his only way of caring, but he only lusts the image, never can he feel the image real, not the body...he lusts through a lens, as if he dare not touch, if he did he wold explode: he can't feel sweetness: his finger flips the shutter like a trigger: a photo shot, the image dead....the uncertainty of how they physically fused leaves open the possibility that Cosmo left empty inside: Hugo's facial expression is so empty, his longing splayed, his zipper keeping what little warmth is left...he was sleeping alone...Cosmo leaves as if he was sent as an angel to open up Hugo's heart, the angel leaves as he came, from smoking to sucking: the angel changed, but not Hugo

Entendí que la vida va pasando... Conocemos gente y muchos se van, pues están solo de paso por nuestra vida. Dejando un vacío y a seguir adelante. La vida sigue y lo que no aprovechas en el momento exacto (como la fotografía con los chicos reunidos frente al Mural) ya no lo podrás hacer... Pues aunque el terminó tomando la foto al mural, ya no estaban ellos dentro del paisaje. Todo es UN INSTANTE!!

No hay nada que agregar es impecable el mensaje, cosmo es hetero y Hugo gay sólo tienen empatía respeto y son cordiales entre sí nada más!!! Es un amor no correspondido porque es imposible para una persona que está segura de su inclinación sexual tener una relación bisexual y cosmo desempeña en forma excelente su papel de varón masculino y heterosexual para desgracia de Hugo!!! Pero si es factible una amistad como el altruismo de cosmo demostró muy bien
Thanks very much for the upload.
I feel Hugo's pain when he is about to lose a love he cherishes: I feel his regrets: I feel the photos that will comfort him: I see him pull back into his loneliness: I feel his puzzlement as to how he failed Cosmo that Cosmos did not love him back as much as he loved Cosmo: his pain never touches enough of Hugo to make him cry or cling or shreek, Please Please Don't Leave Me...I love you

Beautifully well done.For many all they may ever have is just an instant.A day, a week, a month ,a year or 5 years with a special one. Often a life is made up of these instances ,sometimes simple , sometimes intense, strung together, of loves and heartbreaks that one or both hoped would not end. You have to not wast your time together and say what you can.
Simply beautiful! Straight to my heart. Peace.
