I Want You

After a two year absence, Hache returns to Barcelona hoping to start over. The city opens like a blank page as he tries to shed old habits and pressures. He finds himself drawn to Gin, a spontaneous and supportive presence who sparks a fresh attraction. At the same time, memories of Babi linger, complicating his feelings and challenging his sense of loyalty. The story tracks his attempts to balance a promising new romance with unresolved affection from the past. Against sunlit streets and crowded cafes, he faces the choices that could redraw his future, testing honesty, desire, and the person he wants to become. The city itself seems to watch, offering chances while testing him at every turn, each day.

Directed by Fernando González Molina, the film adapts Federico Moccia's Tengo ganas de ti, with screenwriting by Ramón Salazar and Moccia. It brings the characters and emotions from the page into a sun drenched Barcelona on screen for modern audiences.

Worldwide, the movie grossed about 24 million dollars worldwide, reflecting solid reception in Spain and international markets. Its box office success helped raise the profile of its stars and reinforced the appeal of Spanish teen romance abroad.

Critically, the film emphasizes the pull between past devotion and present desire, exploring how youth negotiates heartbreak and identity. Hache wrestles with loyalty, temptation, and the slippery line between independence and connection, delivering a brisk, emotionally naked portrait of modern romance. It also highlights friendships and growing independence.

The movie sits within Spain's early 2010s wave of Moccia inspired romances that helped launch a new generation of teen led drama. The vibrant Barcelona locations and the on screen chemistry between Casas and Lago are often cited in discussions of contemporary Spanish popular cinema. It helped propel its stars.
