    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to an interview with The Moveable Fest, Fabio Audi who plays Gabriel is the one who suggested to Daniel Ribeiro that his character needed to have a bike. The original short film does not include a bike, but Daniel Ribeiro took the suggestion and started writing about the bike. It eventually became a bigger thing.
    • Goofs
      During the camping trip pool scene, the pool side chairs which Gabriel and Leo go to sit down on are a noticeable distance apart in the long shot. When the shot changes to a close up, they are right beside each other.
    • Quotes
      • Gabriel: Leo, if you had ever stolen a kiss from someone, how would you give it back?
