🎬 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑾𝒆 𝑾𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 (2024)

Mariano and Juan, a couple who have been together for over six years, decide to leave behind the bustle of Buenos Aires in search of a quieter, more fulfilling life. They move to a peaceful countryside village where Mariano finally pursues his dream of opening a plant nursery. Juan, an acclaimed writer, supports his partner’s new venture but struggles to find inspiration in this slower-paced environment. At first, the move seems to bring them closer together, offering a fresh start where their love can grow in a more tranquil setting.

Their peaceful routine is disrupted when Carla, Juan’s longtime best friend, arrives unexpectedly from the city. Her visit brings an air of nostalgia but also carries news that shakes the foundation of the couple’s relationship—Carla is pregnant. The revelation forces both men to confront emotions they had long buried, including jealousy, longing, and the question of what kind of family they truly want. Carla's presence serves as a mirror that reflects the differences in how each of them sees the future.

As the days pass, tensions begin to simmer just beneath the surface. Mariano, who is deeply invested in building a life grounded in simplicity and nature, starts to feel disconnected from Juan’s more intellectual, success-driven world. Meanwhile, Juan begins to question whether his writing has any real meaning, or if he’s simply been escaping emotional vulnerability by living in fiction. The presence of Carla, and the life she is bringing into the world, highlights the emotional gap that has slowly formed between the two men.

Their interactions become more introspective and raw. Through conversations, arguments, and shared silences, Mariano and Juan begin to reevaluate the assumptions they’ve made about love, commitment, and what it means to grow alongside someone instead of apart. Each must decide whether to continue adapting for the sake of the relationship or to seek fulfillment in ways that may no longer include each other. Carla, though not directly involved in their romantic bond, becomes a catalyst for this necessary reflection.

Ultimately, What We Wrote Together is a delicate exploration of queer love, identity, and the fragile process of change. With understated performances and a naturalistic setting, the film portrays the slow unraveling and quiet resilience of a long-term relationship. It does not seek to offer easy answers but instead presents love as something that must be continually rewritten and renegotiated. In the end, what they write together is not just stories on paper—but the emotional truth of who they are, and who they might become.
