Boytown

(Chuecatown), Juan Flahn / E, 2007
Spanish version / Czech and English subtitles, 93 min

A light Spanish comedy with an Almodóvar flavor. A humorous portrait of the famous Madrid gay district Chuecatown. An pair of “teddy bears” in love deal with the traps endangering their relationship, be they in the form of a muscular and seemingly perfect Victor, who kills elderly women to facilitate real estate development or the disapproving and malicious mother of one of them. Many more entertaining characters and above all colors, freshness and also morbid humor get thrown in the mix. Because all of this belongs to the multi-colored peculiarity of the world called Chuecatown.
