SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A quiet Argentine reunion turns on unspoken adolescent history, lingering glances, and tentative intimacy. Its sunlit, patient observation closely matches Esteros’s sensual nostalgia and emotional restraint.
02
Why this pick
Like Esteros, it treats a young same-sex connection with warmth, curiosity, and gentle humour rather than melodrama, building its romance through small acts of trust and discovery.
03
Why this pick
A restrained Chilean drama about a connection that unsettles an established adult life. Its attentive pacing and focus on private desire echo Esteros’s compassionate handling of emotional conflict.
04
Why this pick
Its relaxed holiday setting, teasing male camaraderie, and charged moments of observation offer the same naturalistic, sensual atmosphere as Esteros, with desire emerging amid everyday friendship.
05
Why this pick
Though harsher in setting, it similarly lets intimacy grow through physical closeness, awkward vulnerability, and gradual emotional openness, favouring lived-in detail over conventional romantic gestures.

01 / THE STORY
Matías and Jerônimo are two great friends who grew up together in Paso de Los Libres, a simple and folkloric region in Argentina. During their adolescence, an unexpected sexual attraction emerged between them, which they explored with curiosity. However, life ended up separating their paths. After years apart, they deal with the memories of the past in completely different ways. But when they reunite, the feelings are rekindled and confront all sorts of moral conflicts.
