"Not really. I did have a breakup, which was the start of the idea. A boyfriend of mine left me. He was an artist, singer, and writer. [His ex authored the novel, Memories of a Teenager, which Santa Ana adapted for a 2019 film; it's available on Netflix.] When he broke up with me, he just left home. He was going to leave me with "a performance.""
Lucas Santa Ana's clever romantic comedy # 300Letters follows Jero, who returns from a workout to find his partner Tom gone and ghosting him on their anniversary. Jero experiences the five stages of grief while discovering a box of 300 letters in which Tom recounts his side of their relationship. The letters reveal mutual flaws: Tom views Jero as childish and superficial, while the correspondence exposes Tom's lies and at least one instance of cheating. The film juxtaposes irresistible physical chemistry, relationship milestones, and commentary on divisions and prejudices among Argentina's gay poets and jocks.
