Netflix insider tip Smiley: RomCom jewel with humor and eroticism

The Spanish rom-com Smiley has only been able to achieve 24 ratings on Moviepilot so far, albeit with a high 7.4 out of 10. In the foreground of the Netflix highlight are the two homosexual men Bruno (Miki Esparbé) and Àlex (Carlos Cuevas), who through meet a funny coincidence.

The very diverse characters have, for example, on the themes Getting older, coming out and unfulfilled career aspirations to nibble. Smiley is therefore not only highly entertaining, but also stimulates thought – and on top of that brings with it a lot of humor and eroticism.
