Gay-themed Spanish film. Original title: “Mia Y Moi.” If you’re wondering why the title seems to be half-Spanish and half-French, it’s because there’s no French – “Moi” is a guy’s name.
Bringing Him Back is a psycho-drama about family, set in the Spanish countryside outside Barcelona. Following his mother’s death, Moi travels with his boyfriend, post-grad student Biel, back to his mother’s rural house. His sister Mia (Bruna Cusi) has already returned to the house and the three twenty-somethings share a few fairly idyllic days reminiscing about the past, going to the beach, and learning to adapt their city habits to those of the countryside. Mia and Moi’s lives are somewhat directionless so they are in no rush to leave the house, and it is clear that Moi is suffering from some deep trauma that affects him to the core. This trauma intensifies once Mia’s sexy, rather antagonistic, ex-boyfriend makes an unannounced visit, setting off a very tense, sensual series of events.
There is a surprising amount of hetero sex and female nudity for what is essentially a love story between two guys.
