beautiful
Kirpianuscus21 February 2021
A woman in a seaside town. Her boys. And the image of the older in the eyes of his brother. A simple story, great performances, wise balance between realismand fantastic and inspired portrait of family. Short, just beautiful.

An Unforgettable Coming of Age Story
Jack_B_Nimble4 May 2023
Two brother, the older of whom is transgender, encounter intolerance and bigotry in their seaside English village. Outwardly this is a very simple story but one told with unsurpassed grace.

This short was filmed on a micro-budget. Funds were solicited on social media. The cast and crew were almost entirely amateurs. And yet it conveys more in twenty minutes than most professional films do in two hours.

A labor of love that has an authenticity that is completely lacking in big budget Hollywood superhero flicks. I don't consider it to be a "Gay" film. It speaks to anyone who was ever been bullied for any reason. It deserves to be viewed and enjoyed by many.
