💕 Through My Window (2022)
Director: Marçal Forés
Starring: Clara Galle, Julio Peña
Language: Spanish (available dubbed & subtitled)
Runtime: 1h 53m
Genre: Teen Romance, Drama
Rating: TV-MA (mature content)
🌹 Plot Summary:
Raquel, an aspiring writer and hopeless romantic, has been crushing on her hot, brooding neighbor Ares Hidalgo for years. They’ve never spoken — until one day, fate (and a broken Wi-Fi connection) brings them together. What follows is a steamy, push-and-pull romance filled with sexual tension, family drama, and emotional highs and lows.
❤️ What Works:
🌟 Chemistry:
-
Clara Galle and Julio Peña have real on-screen chemistry. Their dynamic captures the electric, slightly toxic intensity of teen love — all passion, little logic.
-
The steamy scenes are bold for a YA romance. It’s more After than To All the Boys — so expect sensuality over innocence.
🎧 Aesthetic & Vibe:
-
Cinematography is polished — soft lighting, cozy bedrooms, dramatic rain kisses.
-
Indie-pop soundtrack gives it a Tumblr-core, romantic vibe. Think Euphoria meets The Kissing Booth, but European.
⚠️ What Doesn’t Work:
🚩 Problematic Tropes:
-
The relationship dynamics border on unhealthy. Ares is controlling, hot-and-cold, and emotionally unavailable — and it’s romanticized.
-
Raquel’s infatuation feels obsessive at times, and her boundaries are rarely respected.
-
If you’re sensitive to toxic masculinity disguised as passion, this might not sit well.
📖 Shallow Development:
-
Characters lack depth beyond their romantic roles. We don’t learn much about Raquel's dreams or Ares's struggles beyond surface-level conflict.
-
Secondary characters are underused (though they get more spotlight in the sequels).
💬 Themes:
-
Obsession vs. Love
-
Sexual awakening
-
Class divide (rich boy, modest girl trope)
-
Writing as self-expression
🎥 Sequels:
Netflix has since turned this into a franchise:
-
Through My Window: Across the Sea (2023)
-
Through My Window: Looking at You (2024)
Both expand on the relationship, with more melodrama, emotional stakes, and adult themes.
💌 Final Verdict:
★★☆☆☆ (2.5/5) – Addictive but shallow
Aesthetically pleasing and emotionally intense, but packed with red flags. If you enjoy spicy, dramatic teen romances and don’t mind flawed characters, it delivers the drama. If you're after emotional maturity or realistic love? Best look elsewhere.
