CGiii Comment

Just when you least expect it...along comes a quirky little film, burdened with low expectations, that blows it out of the water.

It ducks and dives, twists and turns...keeping you on the edge of your seat - it does pack in quite a few hard-hitting surprises.

Then...there's the cinematography...the horses in the street - stunning.

The soundtrack, the performances, the humour - all pitch perfect...Natalia Meta has done herself proud.

A seriously impressive little film that should have been scooped up by every major LGBT film festival.
