This is a black and white film, that is not porn, but about what coming out means to two teenagers in a small community. It is about how their secret drives them from each other, and from their families. It is not a happy movie, and the ending is real, not sugar coated either. Sad to realize that this movie was made in 1996, and eleven years later not much has changed for the teenager who is homosexual.
Sad too, to realize that those in Government support what this film shows, the homophobic world that is today’s world. It is not a tender coming out story, but it has its moments. A movie that all the homophobic parents out there need to see, to maybe shock them into realizing what their disgust, hatred, can lead their child into. This is the reality, that we take hope from children, all because they are who GOD made them to be.
