Malehood (2022)
Two young men. Neighbors. The morning routine. The comparing gestures grace two windows. Maybe, few provisory conclusions. A ball game and a change of looks who seems a very good clue about relation between main characters.
And the twist , offered by the two young men front to an opened door.
The answer, in final.
The presumed definition of manhood, suggested by title of film, by the first part has new senses.
And , maybe, this beautiful twist is the key of intense , at first sight, competition between the boys.
In fact , the short film proposes just a profound fair of essence of mainhood – the vulnerability, truth behind apparences and gestures defining a person, not exactly his genre or sexual preferances.
