Will buys his husband Adam a package of 100 weekly Spanish lessons, to be delivered by video call by Cariño, a young woman in Costa Rica,. Very quickly, they turn into therapy sessions, then friendship, then maybe love, despite Cariño's attempt to turn the lessons back to the subject of grammar.
This was the Opening Gala at Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ film festival, which often features straight-friendly movies. One artifice was numbering the "lessons", which made the events seem to happen too fast, even with some video messages between lessons. While the writers / actors wants us to focus on their relationship, I was left wondering how Adam was idle "rich", with a large house with pool in Oakland. Also, despite having been previously married to a woman, Adam seems to play the part of a cosseted wife, ignorant of various family affairs.
Finally, I was not keen on the final scene, for which I deducted one star.
