CGiii Comment

It's not a 'gay short' per se, there is a gay storyline...but, it's not central.

What is at the centre is that moment you stop being a child...and, it's beautifully done, with a touch of tenderness right at the very end.

The(ir) Blurb...

Geri has made the leap from the junior team to the first squad. But he can't find the words to express how greatly he's intimidated by soccer, the search for meaning, and the pressure to perform.
