En malas compañías is a 2000 short movie directed by Antonio Hens that takes a humoristic look at the trials and tribulations of a sexually confident gay teen in 1990s Spain.

16-year old Guillermo (Israel Rodríguez) does not exactly hide his sexual orientation, even though his religious parents disapprove of it. He frequently cruises the local toilets for gay sex and once even gets busted by the police George Michael-style. He also seduces his English teacher who introduces him to the pleasures of anal sex. This short film was shown on the Channel 4, a British Television Channel.

Refreshingly, Hens' movie takes an unapologetic look at homosexuality, as Guillermo comes from a generation that is only met with moral, but no more with legal resistance to living out its sexuality. Hens deliberately paints his characters over-the-top and gives some scenes an absurd feel to make it easier for the audience to see the events unfold from the perspective of easily amused Guillermo.

The movie won two Caja de Madrid awards in 2000.
