The Blond One is a 2019 Argentine drama film directed by Marco Berger. The film explores a complex relationship between two men - Juan and Gabriel - who share an apartment in Buenos Aires.
Juan is a successful and attractive young man, who has a reputation for being a womanizer. He is used to getting what he wants and has never been interested in a serious relationship. However, when his brother moves out of their apartment, he needs to find a new roommate quickly to help with the rent.
Enter Gabriel, a quiet and reserved man who works with Juan at a construction site. Gabriel is struggling to cope with the recent loss of his wife and is trying to raise his young daughter on his own. When he moves into the apartment, he and Juan quickly become friends, and Juan helps him navigate his new life as a single father.
As their friendship develops, it becomes clear that there is a strong attraction between the two men. At first, they try to ignore their feelings, but eventually, they give in to their desires. However, their relationship is complicated by Juan's reputation as a player, and Gabriel's fears of being judged for his sexuality.
The Blond One is a touching and emotional exploration of love, desire, and identity. The film features outstanding performances from its lead actors - Gastón Re and Alfonso Barón - as well as stunning cinematography and a beautiful original score. It is a must-watch for fans of queer cinema and anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships.
