Summary: 5 Stars
Maximo is trying to find love with another guy. It never gets anywhere near the point of an x Rating, but he does find someone in an older guy who happens to be a police man. Well, the guy finds out that Maximo has a crush on him and tries to let him down easy, but Maximo is crushed/shattered. In the end Maximo does seem to get things going to here he is on his way to find a lover/friend. It's worth watching again and again, but if an x-rating is needed then this is not the one.
