It's a sweet premise about polyamory that plays it surprisingly safe—the father's confusion is sympathetic rather than interrogated, and the film seems more interested in reassuring the audience than actually *unsettling* anything about family or desire.
Caricol Saco situates this neatly in the contemporary coming-of-age lineage, with clear formal control over the dinner-table dynamics and a tonal precision that recalls mid-2010s indie comedy—competent and watchable, if somewhat predictable in its emotional beats.
The real work happens in the editing rhythm between Andrea's confidence and her father's processing—there's a three-minute film that could've been sentimental, but whoever cut this understood that the *silence* between his confused looks and her matter-of-fact introductions is where the tenderness actually lives.
