Out of the Closet is about a couple facing the breakdown of their relationship, when the one of them who is deep in the closet is unimpressed that his boyfriend has turned up out of the blue, just before his female fiancee is due to turn up. On first it seems the short seems to be strongly on the side of the guy being dumped, but at the same time it shows situations from the couples’ past where the openly gay guy should probably have taken the hint. It’s difficult to say whether things such as one of the men repeatedly refusing public displays of affection is seen as foolish or that his partner is deluding himself that things will change, or a bit of both.
