Navigating the triple border that separates fiction, documentary and essay, in Dueto, writer and filmmaker Edgardo Cozarinsky and actor Rafael Ferro expose, in a confessional manner, the bond they have shared for many years, not only recalling but also retelling a handful of common stories. Some of them have to do with the origin of their relationship, others with its extremes, from the most tense to the most playful. However, all of them converge in a common denominator that keeps them together despite everything. Dueto is the story of two men who, without any shame, allow their friendship to affirm, with conviction, its real name—love. One that is sometimes tender and light, other times possessive and rough, but always ready for a generous indulgence that doesn’t need that of the flesh. The two of them turn Dueto into an oath made of film, in order to honor the pact of that powerful shared feeling.
