201212 min6.6 / 10

A warm, playful short film about an adolescent's earnest attempt to process and share his emotional response to a film about queer love with a peer.

Last night, Brokeback Mountain aired on TV, Vincent watched it and found himself emotionally compelled by the story. Whilst chatting with a classmate in the school toilets, he takes advantage of the break to describe the film as only an adolescent can.
