Two men meet online for a hook-up, but after an initial confrontation, they fall into conversation and have something they did not expect: a connection.

Director: Nathan Keene
Writer: Will Faulkner, Nathan Keene
Country: Australia
Language: English
Duration: 18 min
Stars: David Ryan Kinsman, Taris Tyler

Two gay men hook up online. The younger one (David Ryan Kinsman) goes to visit the older one (Taris Tyler). Their attempt at sex falls flat and they start to talk. During the talk there’s a lot revealed about their characters, their feelings about being gay and sex in general.

This isn’t a pleasant short(there’s a LOT of swearing) and the characters are unlikable but the talk itself is fascinating. The Australian accents aren’t easy to understand but everything comes through eventually. This basically turns into a character study with two very interesting people. They show and talk about gay relationships unlike any other movie I’ve ever seen. It pulls no punches and hits some interesting truths and subjects head on. My only complaint–Kinsman is unattractive and not a good actor but Tyler is VERY good-looking and one hell of an actor. He makes up for Kinsmans’ deficiencies. Powerful and worth catching.

Winner of the My Queer Career award at Sydney Mardi Gras Film Festival 2010. The film also screened at over 20 festivals internationally including InsideOut – Toronto, Frameline34 – San Francisco, Iris Prize UK – Cardiff, Rhode Island International Film Festival – Providence, USA, Out on Film – Atlanta and St Kilda Film Festival – Melbourne.

Dešava li vam se da vam se neko na prvi pogled ne dopadne ijednostavno kažete – OK nije moj tip al možemo se družiti i popiti neko piće.
Što se više upoznajete sa sagovornikom više vam se i dopada, te u jednom momentu u njemu ne vidite čovjeka koji vas fizički ne privlači već osobu sa kojom bi vrlo rado podijelili mnogo više od običnog seksa!

Meni se to dešavalo, doduše ne često ali ipak se dešavalo! Zadnji put ovo ljeto, stariji čovjek, bio sa ženom na plaži , odmah blizu mene! Svi troje pričamo o svemu i svačemu. Iz početka sex u bilo kojoj varijanti sa bilo kime od njih mi nije padao na pamet. Naprosto prijalo mi je društvo i to je to! Kako je vrijeme proticalo taj me čovjek počeo sve više zanimati sve dok u jednom momentu nisam poželio i da osjetim njegov zagrljaj. Naravno to se nije desilo, ali još jedno iskustvo kako iskren ljudski razgovor može da pobjedi svaki gard koji postavite prema nekom ili neko prema vama!

Pogledajte ovaj film i znaćete o čemu pričam!
