CGiii Comment

For a short film...there's too much empty space...the camera wanders, the director obviously unsure what to film.

The crux of the story is the trans* versus heterosexual proposition...it's a mindf**k and not a particularly pleasant experience.

The(ir) Blurb...

Noam, a young Israeli transgender, is nervous and excited to meet his childhood friend Natan after many years. Louise, a free spirited mom, in whose house Noam has been staying for the last six months, decides to throw a party at her place when her kid leaves for the weekend. Noam invites Natan to the party but things get messy when Noam’s tender attempts to reconnect with his friend are jeopardized by Louise’ inappropriate behavior.
