This is one of those "gentle" movies, where woman seems to be stronger multiple times than the man.
Don't know why exactly, but it kills the experience nonetheless.
Everything else is fairly ok, and the movie is kind of sad. Great main actress, however!
5.7Plot summary
Sol is a beautiful, humble and sensitive young woman who has a very important trauma. In spite of everything she does not kill her biggest dream: find her better half, her other self, her partner for life. She was infected AIDS with treason. She trusted the other person and was deceived. Now she is HIV-positive, but she has not yet developed the disease and trusts that she will not develop it. To get to know new people, she puts a contact where she says she is HIV positive and that she wants relationships with people who are HIV-positive, also to be at the same level. Several men reply to her contact, among which the letter of Dani, very human and literary. She answers and they meet. He is cheating on her: he is not HIV positive but a journalist who is doing an article for a magazine for which he works on the current situation of AIDS in Spain and has considered that the best way to do it is to answer the contact, regardless of the consequences that may have on the other person. But she is still naive because she does not realize anything.

really bad
To start with, we have seen this kind of story in different variations many times before. Nothing new or original here. The film itself is dull, nauseatedly predictable, pretensions and awfully acted. The dialogues made me want to vomit. It is appears the film was made with a hand held camera and it times the shaking was pretty bad. I liked Ana de Armas in Knock Knock. I thought she did pretty good in it. She is the only one in Por un puñado de besos who was trying to actually act, even then her performance is rather weak, overacting in many scenes. Everybody else could have been easily replaced by robots, it is THAT bad. Jan Cornet, as a leading actor is unbelievably bad, looking sad and wrinkling his forehead was all he could do. There is zero on screen chemistry between two leading actors, I mean absolutely none. So skip it, unless you are a 12 years old girl. No sex, violence or profanity in this film.
