Our opinion

A powerful story of two men discovering their sexual orientation while working as a cowboys on a lone ranch. Many men feel the same as the main characters, who are fighting their own feelings of what they want, who they are and what society expects them to be. 

The movie carries a strong message: don’t hesitate and fight to live a life with your loved one despite all the obstacles. Because sometimes when we hesitate it can be late.
