    A sweet representation of: 1) being a university freshman. 2) the process of meeting someone (not falling in love, they barely know each other throughout the film). Although here in Argentina we don't have to travel, leave our town or anything like that for us to study, the work of Raiff's writing makes it a hundred times more relatable. Characters are funny, cringy, sometimes hateful... They look alive. The soundtrack it's pretty awesome, matches up with that college vibes so well. And the story is just so... Beautiful, it's human.
