"Toni" (Fabián Castro) ) and his sister "Emma" (Júlia Hernández) have inherited a ranch from their father. She is determined to try and make a go of it, he is a bit of a malingerer who parties and shags his way through life. When they both fall for the son of their pretty homophobic ranch foreman - Christian Blanch ("Aarón) we embark on the chase. It's odd that the sister would actually want a man who would sooner sleep with her brother (even if he does bear a passing resemblance to Henry Cavill) and that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to plot holes - the entire population of the Spanish village appears to be gay, manscaped and permanently on the look out for sex. Indeed, poor old "Emma" and the foreman ("Ramón") might end up being the only straights in the village. It's got drag, slow ponderous shower scenes, some fun with an hosepipe (no, not an euphemism) and just about everything except a decent storyline. Castro has a charm about him, to be fair - but this is just a chick flick for gay folk, and not much good as that either.
