What in Hollywood cinema would be a bunch of drunks getting out of phase in a brotherhood, in 6 years we have a dramatic version of how our decisions affect our lives. One of those clairvoyant films that teach us a part of life that sometimes, with direct nerves, we do not weigh properly. A film that, although its argument is based on the so-called "first world problems", sensibly tackles a tirade in which many young people are faced with the leap into the void of finishing academic studies.
