Nico and Dani
Two boys… and the summer that would change everything
Directed by Cesc Gay
Produced by Messidor Films, Canal+ España
A tender, sun-soaked coming-of-age story about two teenage boys navigating desire, jealousy, and unspoken feelings during a transformative summer.
While his parents are away for the summer, 16-year-old Dani invites his best friend, the irrepressible Nico, to stay for the holidays. Jealously rears its head when Nico appears more interested in the local girls than in Dani. Hot summer nights and too many joints lead to experimentation which neither boy can talk about, a situation complicated by the appearance of the older and openly gay Julián, a published writer and old friend of Dani’s father.
