FRAMELINE49: #300Letters @ 8:30 PM

This playful romantic comedy from Argentina opens with Tom (Gastón Frías) and Jero (Cristian Mariani) as a seemingly idyllic couple — until Tom’s anniversary gift to Jero turns out to be a breakup letter, accompanied by 299 more written throughout their relationship. Jero is left blindsided, with only the letters as a key to unraveling the mystery of Tom’s sudden departure.

As Jero navigates the breakup, he relives their romance through Tom’s brutally honest reflections. What starts as a casual Grindr hook-up evolves, despite their contrasting identities: Jero, a crossfit jock, and Tom, an expressive queer performance artist. Their reluctance is overridden by their hot and intense sexual chemistry — and they become an official couple.

Through this journey, Jero is left questioning what was real in their love affair. Was it love, sexually clouded judgment, or perhaps a twisted mind-game for Tom’s ethically questionable performance art? Directed by Lucas Santa Ana (Memories of a Teenager), this alluring tale of modern dating and relationships in Buenos Aires is a captivating mix of humor, heartbreak, and intrigue, brought to life by a talented and charismatic cast.
