CGiii Comment

What could be more tender and passionate than a love that is found during the times of unfathomable longing? At times when everything is unreal, superficial, and uncertain - if love is genuine, it will cross boundaries and will know no limits and sexual categories. But how does unconventional love carry on in the modern world where patterns of morality are still as ironically primeval as the people who creep around it? Ben is a college student who seems to be the most popular guy in campus. He lives a very luxurious life. And everything seems to be perfect and grand. Not really. He has never recovered from the horrors of his childhood under the hands of an abusive father. His mother has never recovered from his father's lost and is now suffering from an acute case of post-traumatic stress disorder - making her slowly lose her sanity. Aside from this dilemma, Ben has yet to face the greatest of it all - accepting who he really is and fighting for the person he really loves.
