Matías and Jerónimo-played by Ignacio Rogers and Estaban Masturini, who have a potent on-screen chemistry-have known each other since childhood. During the holidays in the Argentine wetlands of Esteros and before they begin high school, their friendship takes a new turn when they both experience their sexual awakening. However, Matías' father forces them apart when he takes a job far away. Ultimately, distance and family contempt for homosexuality leads Matías to deny his friend, and ultimately, himself.

More than ten years later, Matías returns to his old town for Carnival with his girlfriend, where he unexpectedly runs into Jerónimo. Feelings between the two men slowly reappear, leading to a long-repressed awakening. But at what cost? Esteros is an expansion and reworking of the director's 2015 short film Matías y Jerónimo in which two young boys are witness to a hate crime. Curotto's debut feature is a charming and heartfelt take on second chances at love.

" Tender... effective, electric, and satisfying."
- Gary M. Kramer, Metro
