Synopsis

KRAMPACK (aka NICO AND DANI) is a summer coming-of-age flick set in a small beach town near Barcelona. Two teenage boys--Dani (Fernando Ramallo) and Nico (Jordi Vilches)--spend a couple weeks alone at Dani's beach house when his parents leave town. They have always been best friends and have always shared everything. Suddenly they find themselves drifting apart when they meet Elena (Marieta Orozco) and Berta (Esther Nubiola) two cute local nubiles who help them discover love and sex and all of the physical and emotional pain and joy that comes with it.
The sophomore effort of Spanish director Cesc Gay is essentially a teen movie about a couple of buddies who want to get laid before they turn 18. But there is a twist to this film that is remarkable in its frankness: KRAMPACK delivers the themes and style of recent films like WILD REEDS and BEAUTIFUL THING, but the spirit of this movie is different--it's feistier. Fernando Ramallo and Jordi Vilches give striking performances, and they have an enthusiastic rapport that is really enjoyable to watch. The film is coloured by the naivete of the teenagers and that gives it a veracity that is at times shocking, and at other times sweet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful coming-of-age film, 9 Jan 2007
By Nina (England) - See all my reviews
I bought this film for its promise of sunshine, feel-good charm, adolescent awakening and a tolerant treatment of homosexuality, and that's just what I got. It is a hundred percent enjoyable film of one summer in the lives of two friends. It is very refreshing to see a Spanish treatment of sexuality that is frank, funny and open without being tasteless -- what a liberating contrast to they way these things appear in most Hollywood films. The film is based on a successful play, and this shows in the thoughtful script. The two main characters are a delight: I have rarely seen such an almost cringe-makingly true-to-my-owm-memories rendition of teenage awkwardness. At the same time, these boys are not riven by angst but fumble their way through to a happy self-acceptance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, 31 Oct 2009
By Bart "dvd collector" (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Two young lads, spending their summer holiday in a swanky house in a Spanish seaside resort, become aware of their sexual desires. Director Cesz Gay turned this topic into a sensitive portrayal of the trials and tribulations many young people face, in the process of becoming - more or less - comfortable with their own individual sexuality
Without being pedantic or patronising, CG lets us in on the stages Dani and Nico go through which lead up to their first sexual encounter and beyond. Krampack takes no stand whatsoever on sexual prefence. In the end it's clear Dani is more comfortable with men and Nico, being the Jack the Lad he is, fancies girls over boys. For me this is the quintessence of this picture. No one is 100% gay or straight. It's always something in between. It's about the choice one makes with whom he or she likes to share the most intimate pleasure in life with. Krampack shows us that this choice is best made without as little interference from outsiders as possible. Dani and Nico are left to their own devices to experiment sexually. Both fall flat on their face several times, but in the end they're mentally stronger than when they set out on their quest. For me it was a delight to watch this process. It reminded me of times gone by, when I experienced similar feelings. In many stores (high street or on line) Krampack is stored under 'gay and lesbian'. I think that's incorrect. It is not a gay film as such. It's a film about sexuality and the insecurities and anxieties it entails. It should appeal to a wider audience, as I think there is much to gain from watching it.

4.0 out of 5 stars And the meaning of the title is ..., 7 Oct 2009
By Nicholas Casley (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Nico and Dani are two laid-back Spanish lads - Catalan lads? (the film is set in Sitges) - the best of friends but seeking their first sexual experiences. It's just that, whilst Nico eyes up the local female talent, Dani is eyeing up Nico. So, for this movie we have plenty of sun, plenty of sand, plenty of sea, and plenty of sex - or we would do if the lads were lucky and less conscious of themselves. You can imagine how it can be very funny in places, and it is.

There's not much of a story really beyond two handsome teenagers experiencing life and each other by the sea. But that very ordinariness is what makes this movie special, for we can relate many of our own experiences to what we see here acted out on the screen. Some of Nico's and Dani's experiences are good, some are bad, but what's important is that they both cope well and learn the problems in life that effect us at that important age - and still do affect us.

The two young actors are very good, and as evidence of this they both seem to continue to do well in Spanish film and TV. They played roles in this film a few years younger than their actual ages (they were both around twenty at the time). As an example of their skill, without anything being said, you can see in Dani's eyes that he's in love with Nico; and you can tell from Nico's awkward movements that he is becoming more and more uncomfortable with it, but doesn't want to lose Dani's friendship.

The extras to this feel-good movie include an eighteen-minute `Making Of' diary of the shoot. We learn here that the story was originally a play, but that the ages of the protagonists were lowered and the site transferred to the seaside. There are also additional interviews with the director and the two lead actors.

And the meaning of the title? Well it seems to be the local Catalan word for ... well, I'm not sure Amazon would allow me to say!
