Honestly I can't believe we're still getting BL series this bad in 2026. This mini series runs about 7 to 8 episodes with a total runtime of just about an hour and it is so boring that I genuinely struggle to find the words. The actors are awkward, the story is as basic as it gets and there is almost nothing about this show worth saving. The makers do try to stir up some drama here and there but even that falls completely flat. Ho Won is a 23 year old university student who spots a man sitting alone at a gay bar and gets attracted to him. The man is Min U, a 33 year old who brushes Ho Won off immediately saying he's too young. Ho Won lies about his age and since he's made a bet with the bartender that he'll get this man home before the night is over, he switches tactics and eventually the two end up at Min U's place and sleep together.

The film takes its name from the FLH manifesto published in 1973, which in the film functions as the center of the story of the hard struggle carried out by the LGBT community from the formation, in the late 60s, of the first group Nuestro Mundo led by Héctor Anabitarte, until crowning with Equal Marriage and the Gender Identity law.

It was an interesting perspective to see a lot of background imagery and videos constantly being shown behind the voiceover. That helps viewers keep their interest because constantly there is something new to stimulate your visual senses. Although after almost half way through the film, I started losing interest. Trying to keep up with subtitles and watching visuals and all became too much. Also, somewhere my interest in the story also started dwindling and I was like , I wish this film was tightly edited. Watching some of the historical aspects of how gays were treated back in the day not just in Argentina but other parts of the world was quite an eye-opener. I mean, by now we all know the story of how gay liberation has been a movement for many years and how some of the older generation have given their hard sweat and tears to make this happen, but seeing it every single time, opens up the same wounds. Anyway, overall this documentary was strictly ok for me and nothing that memorable. (3.5/10)
