Octavio is a decent boxer and one day he attracts the attention of Hugo. They become friendly and begin to spend more time together. When Octavio makes an unexpected pass at Hugo, he panics and rebuffs Octavio. Eventually though, they work their way through to a physical relationship. When Octavio has to deal with medical issues and is forced to retire from the ring, they move together to Santiago to start a new life together in relative obscurity. Life gets complicated when Hugo gets a job and meets Jenny, the boss’s daughter. While naïve Hugo deals with the unwanted romantic attention from Jenny, Octavio deals with his jealousy and the burning desire to return to the ring not matter what the cost.
Intimate, funny, and superbly acted by three women all with impeccable comedic timing, this Aussie movie takes an interesting approach in exploring what happens when one-half of a lesbian couple decides she’s no longer a lesbian and embarks on a search for “Mr. Right Now.” As the film opens, reserved Hannah nonchalantly finds out over a bowl of cereal that Breigh, the love of her life, is just not into the whole girl thing anymore. Now, Breigh is embracing life as a hasbian, and is ready to date men. But soon Breigh is faced with the harsh reality: dating men is not as easy as it seems. Instead of dealing with women, she has to deal with men, and men are notorious for sending mixed signals. Follow these hilarious Aussies Hannah, the straight girl turned lesbian; Breigh, the hasbian; and their foul-mouthed flat mate Dinka as Breigh’s wingman, in their quest for Mr. Right.
