Plot

Raúl (Mauricio Ochmann), Eduardo (Humberto Busto) and Santiago (Alfonso Dosal) have led a happy and "masculine" life from their childhood, until, one day, Santiago confesses to them that he is gay.

Raúl reacts negatively to this revelation, trying to convince Santiago that it's just a phase, which damages his relationship. Santiago starts a relationship with Julián, a famous chef, and begins plans to move to Miami with him and leave his old life behind, and Raúl feels jealous of losing closeness with Santiago, and this jealousy increases the conflicts with him until they cut each other off. At the same time, his wife Luciana finds out that he has been flirting with other women and arranging hookups and seeks a divorce from him. Losing two of the most important relationships in his life leads Raúl to reexamine his preconceptions about masculinity, friendship and love.

Eventually, Santiago backs down from his plans when he finds out that Julián is polyamorous and isn't willing to keep a monogamous relationship with him. Raúl apologizes to Santiago and they make amends.

In the final scene, a couple years later, Raúl is still trying to earn Luciana's forgiveness and regain her love, but she is still hesitant to give him another chance. Santiago is dating an employee of Eduardo and Raúl seems more comfortable with his friend's homosexuality, but he still reacts with discomfort to see his own son playing with a doll, hinting that future conflict may still arise.

Criticism

GLAAD criticized the film as especially homophobic in its 2018 report "Studio Responsibility Index"[6] stating: "Overall, this movie contained so much anti-gay language and sentiment played for laughs, that Raúl coming around is barely consequential. While this film did pass the Vito Russo Test by including an LGBTQ character who was significant to the plot and had the same sort of unique personality traits as non-LGBTQ characters, it does not stop the film from being incredibly offensive."
