ÉDEN (Short-Film) 

This was such a beautifully composed love story, the passion and the intimacy between them seemed so genuine and pure it was mesmerising. The happy ending made it even better.

I have never seen any short story which is as beautiful as this one. The actors are amazing........The sadness and the tears of Joao are so immensed

How beautiful it was that Joao's memory was realized in the rear-view window and that Pedro returned to find him crying. Well done

This needs to become a movie the chemistry between these 2 actors wow...

I agree with others that this should be a full feature film. It is one of my favorite short films. The kiss in the back of the truck with the Apple in the foreground is so passionately beautiful. I could feel it down to my toes. Thank you for this beautiful artistic work.

After 3.5 million persons have seen it, what needs or is left to be said? The characters are awesome? The music is awesome? They truely are! My respect and congratulations to the performers and makers!

the intimacy and the chemistry between the two of them was incredible , they were so attached to each other and they shouldn't be separated

This is a short movie that speaks volumes about true love. It should become a full length feature.

It's all been said. One of the best ever shorts! Everything, just gels, from the guys, dialogue, their emotions, and true love for each other wins in the end. The acting is superb. Hope there's both a lead up to why they're parting, and a sequel in the future.

The chemistry between them, oh Lord! It was beautiful! So well enacted, I could just feel butterflies in my stomach while watching them. They are amazing capable actors.

"Home is where the heart is"

The chemistry and passion these two men had for each other..woof, I need this in my life.

If a guy knows what it feels like to love another guy, it does not have to be explained ... because I know.

This was so beautiful but as in real life so painful - somebody gets hurt. Her happiness turned to tears and his tears turned to happiness.

This beautiful short film proves you don't need a lot of silly dialogue, just 2 actors who are so bonded to each other, a natural chemistry........their eyes tell the story.......one touch, one glance..........set to a beautiful soundtrack...........Bravo !!!!!

My god the acting in the apple scene is absolutely mesmerizing. The symbolism alone is enough to make this film incredibly interesting but the actors make it absolutely mesmerizing. This is everything I love about short films, one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen in a while.

Excelente historia, linda locación, un argumento simple, cargado de sentimiento, madurez y complejidad a la vez. Su desenlace es magistral, no por "ser feliz", sino porque al final quien parte sigue su instinto y decide volver! Felicitaciones al director y a todos los actores, sois fantásticos!

If he is meant to be...then he really is...The true way of explaining if you love someone set him free if comes back he is yours.

I've watched this a lot of times and I never get tired of it. The story is beautiful, their dialogue is precious and the lovemaking is so tender, passionate and erotic without being cheap. The feelings of love and pain are perfectly combined and presented in the film. Both men are handsome and display a great chemistry. I wish we could have a longer version of this beautiful story someday. Kudos to the creators and thank you for this beautiful film

So beautiful. João wanted to be strong. I felt his sadness when Pedro left. I knew he was broken when Pedro and Sara drove away. I'm happy that Pedro chose for João. I also loved the symbolism of the apple. Pedro ate, but João did not. Pedro gained knowledge, just like Eve in the Garden of Eden. Only, this was the knowledge of love. Pedro knew that João was his Adam, his true love and therefore had to return to him.

Se eu me apaixonei por esse curta? Sim e muito! Uma verdadeira joia. Bravíssimo!!!

Não sei como é que só encontrei agora este trabalho tão bonito mas estou feliz por o ter encontrado. Muitos parabéns, está incrível!

The pain he felt and made us feel in these few minutes was so precious. Beautiful ❤

The moment he says" go be happy"..i cried at dat moment n the floodgates open when he cries..😢

my heart broke then i started to cry , when he can back too him i was filled with joy and happiness , really amazing film :D

Tenho tanto orgulho em ver uma curta em português. Muitos parabéns!

Power of LOVE, two beautiful people, love is beautiful!

Love and pain 💖💖💖 Both actors played perfectly 🎉🎉🎉 Love never dies ❤

Vi este cortometrajes hace alguno años, y no se por que razones nunca más lo volví a encontrar lo amé tanto y olvide el nombre, hoy de casualidad apareció en mi feet. No podia creer que estaba allí nuevamente y aprecie mejor cada segundo. Gracias.

Questo è uno dei migliori cortometraggi che ci siano.

Seriously this was AMAZING I mean that first kiss felt so genuine and kind. Honestly I could feel the love they felt for each other!

*Thank you for the happy ending. I'm tired of gay films with sad and tragic endings. We deserve happiness too!* *Grazie per il lieto fine. Sono stanco di film gay con tristi e tragici finali. Anche noi meritiamo la felicità!*

Bloody hell I am 73 sitting here watching sad and gay romantic movies crying like a baby.....such a moving short film must go and have a good laugh i need it

Situação muitíssimo comum nos dias de hoje. Gostei bastante. Portugal tem muito talento pra dar, esta curta é prova disso*

If you truly love someone, don't lose him because it's hard to find a true love

i can't believe this is acting. it's so realistic... i can see true love in the eyes of the actors

Me fascinó, que hermoso film. 100 puntos de verdad!!!!

MEN, NOT BOYS, SHOWING AFFECTION is heavenly ~ Thank you, Cheers, DAVEDJ

I love this so much i was crying with him when he left and tears of joy when he returned just beautiful

I don't know how i missed this for so long...this is so beautiful...i felt the emotions...all of them....please make a movie out of this

My tears almost dropped down as watching this incredibly heart-catch plot. Thanks for sharing!

Sabe aquele filme que você não cansa de assistir? Pois é! Simplesmente amo esse trabalho. Linda demais essa história.

os olhos caem lagrimas,o coração bate forte não sei mais oque sinto ao ver tanto amor nessa cena,em pensar que na vida real poderia ser assim e hoje é tão complicado encontrar alguém que sinta o mesmo desejo que você em ser feliz,obrigado pelo lindo vídeo.

Um filme curto e intenso... uma película que me faz voltar a ela e chorar junto...

Joao é simplesmente maravilhoso. Foi duro ve-lo chorar assim. Lindo curta.

Excelente, románticamente dulce y con final feliz como tenía que ser si se amaban tanto

Beautiful!

Thank you for such a beautiful story of love not seen much these days. The acting is so real that it actually hurts. I have to admit that both actors are good looking but If I ever go to Portugal I will look for Joao, he's so handsome!!

I love this short film.I would love to see either a part 2 or an extended version of the original to show how they arrived at this point.

Nem sei como só descobri isto agora. Está fantástico. Merece uma série aqui no RU-vid. Por favor, façam isso acontecer.

CAN WE JUST GET THE SQUEL OF THIS OMG THIS IS SO GOOD

Esta é a segunda ou terceira vez que vejo esta curtametragem. Sempre deixa um gosto de "quero mais“, do passado das personagens, o porquê de dizerem adeus ainda que (felizmente) por pouco tempo e o que se sucede.

OMG he came back, so sweet.. #reallove #thanksfabio

PARABÉNS !!! ESTOU SEM PALAVRAS !!! SIMPLESMENTE LINDO E EMOCIONANTE !!! OBRIGADO !!!

Was I the only 1 going O! dear! god! pls let that be him coming back...

I’m such a cry baby. This was beautiful. The chemistry between the two leads was off the charts. You could feel the pain he was experiencing. Loved this film! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Delicate, genuine, natural and intese We can see this work been do it with love Thanks

Que linda história 😘

So I am just stumbling across this film. This is by far one of the most beautiful Shorts I have Ever had the privilege of watching! It literally just took my breath away! It's just beautiful! Thank you Actors, Director(s), Crew, all involved to bring this Artistic, genuine piece to life!

Such a soulful, raw and beautiful depiction of love between these two men! You truly had a story to tell here and it hit every emotional beat perfectly. So much love!❤

Uma curta metragem simples, sem muitas palavras tornando-se uma obra de arte romântica excelente cheia de emoções. AMEI❤️❤️ Continuem assim

quando vc pensa q já viu todos curtas lgbt do RU-vid... plim.... encontra uma joia dessa.... o amor é lindo... poderia virar um longa com esses dois atores....

Simplesmente lindo! ♡

i can't quit watching this film, I just love it!

seriously he came back????? I'm in tears 😭 ❤😍

Que lindo curta!!! Sensível e profundo. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

it isn't often you can find actors of this caliper, with writing and direction like you are able to become lost in the film and completely emotionally attached to the characters and their lives. Thank you again for such a beautiful production.

Questo corto è un piccolo capolavoro . Grazie di cuore a Fabio freitas e ai due attori che interpretano Joao e Pedro per averci fatto comprendere la bellezza del vero amore.

SOOOOO beautiful ... so strong that there aren't much words needed ... let the images talk for themselves.Wow, touched ...

I‘d never leave this lovely, manly and genuine guy. I‘d stay with him. I would show him what real love is able to reach

Watched once again and still my favorite, most beautiful one! Thank You!

He stole my heart when he started to cry 😭😭❤️

An apple a day !!. I loved the intensity of the acting, to produce tears so effectively, is to be in there with your character. Thank you.

Lindos! Que bom ver um produto Português com tanta qualidade, excelente trabalho, rapazes. Façam mais por favor! ☺️

I have watched this film five times. It breaks my heart. Tears in my eyes are running. Everything is so beautifully told.... What a beautiful film! Thank you!

It's been years! So good to watch this again!

Parabéns Fábio Freitas e a toda a equipa, uma curta cheia de conteúdo e sentimento, muito bem produzida, que se façam mais projectos assim, mais uma vez parabéns a todos!

Carinho, amizade, entendimento,paciência e tolerância!!!...É FÁCIL, BASTA QUERER!!!

There are no words for it, only a flood of tears and a lump in my throat.

Maravilhosx! A fotografia, a banda sonora, a performance e o silêncio estão incríveis. Muitos parabéns.

Que curta lindo, fiquei emocionado do início ao fim. Ótima produção, amaria mais se fosse um longa, mas é muito bom. Doce, simples, suave e puro.

One of the most beautiful short films I've ever seen

Oh wow!! I just can't get enough of this...no matter how many times that I watch it..lol. just plain... sweet🤞

It's true....Joao (Adam) knew what he desired and made him happy but his love for Pedro (Peter) meant that he had to set his love free and in return, Pedro returned. Forbidden fruit be dammed. It's Eve that is the serpent.

Beautiful, compelling and extraordinary, like love itself.

Bravo!!!! No one was punished or died for being gay and love won. Bravo!!!

Magnifique histoire d'amour, C'est toujours difficile de faire le bon choix. Mais, après un long moment de réflexion on ne peut plus mentir aux autres et à soit même évidemment. Je sais parfaitement de quoi je parle. 😍😍😍

Una bella historia de amor. Como esa, ninguna! Hermooooosaaa!

perfeito É como poesia só nos olhares...

I simply loved it ❤

Simply one of the best short films on RU-vid. Beautifully shot, wonderfully acted and supremely emotional and heartfelt. Thank you to all involved.

Incredible that so much emotion, sensitivity, tension, and engagement -- with all of the characters -- takes place in such a short slice-of-life scene. Everything about this short is on point -- the acting, script, directing, music, and cinematography. Excellent work all around.

Une de mes vidéo préférées. J'ai vécu la même histoire sauf qu'il est vraiment retourné avec sa femme et ses 4 enfants. One of my favorite videos. I lived the same story except that he really returned with his wife and 4 children.

"Love is the only answer to a full existence. It is not an object, nor something that is achieved. It is an inner state of deep sensitivity to life. It's a party and a joy that comes when our mind dies to misleading prejudices and to the lies. That is why Love is never immoral. " - Júlio Roberto -

Qué hombre tan hermoso y tierno. Jamas me hubiera subido al otro carro. Me hace falta alguien así en mi vida.

Thank god he came back...I was crying so hard.

Simplemente hermoso corto que resume una película completa con un romanticismo espectacular, los actores bellos y el final excelente felicidades

Incredible, so sensual and romantic! Beautiful Portuguese film.

I almost ended up with a blue-eyed guy that looks like this one... it would have been my first relationship ever... and guess what I look like the dark-eyed guy... I always cry when I see this because I didn't get the happy ending in my life... it was a disaster.. we had several incredible out of disney dates and then all of the sudden he ghosted me a lot so I gave up after a lot of tries (two years!) ... I later spoke with a friend of his and told me the truth... that he was in love with me but that he let me go because his life was a mess with drugs involved and he really couldn't make me happy... I learned the hard way that love is wishing and doing the best for that person ... I only wish him well and the best...

Oh my fucking god!!! This is very beautifully beautiful, the actors did it so passionately, they didn't look like actors at all they look like a real loving couple. Very well executed, Bravo!
