How does the film end?


Can somebody fill me in? I saw all of it except the last 7 minutes? I was expecting Troy to get off with Raul.

Jonathan, Raul and Troy have a threesome. The couple and Jonathan later meet by chance at a restaurant and Troy tells them he is moving back to Madrid. Troy's brother says he can stay if he wants. The film ends with Troy in a taxi, which we assume he is on his way to the airport. He gets a text message but we don't see what it says. Tears fall down his cheek. The end.

Troy is leaving in a Taxi, starring out of his window while he receives a sms that he doesn't read

Raul and Jonathan are in bed and it seems that they are waiting for Troy to leave so that their relationship can progress again... the situation is some kind of stressed/uncomfortable for everybody, while Troy is a bit sentimental. Maybe rethinking his life that develops like he was told in his interview at the beginning. It must be depressing that things don't develops as planed, that he messed it up and has to go back to spain, even if he feels connected to that country.

I've just finished watching this. The suitcase beside Raul made me think that maybe he too was leaving. Not with Troy, but leaving to return to his family.

I agree, the suitcase seems to show Raul is thinking of leaving.
