CGiii Comment

The sentimental music is a definite mistake...a little too slushy.

It's a well-intentioned little film with a few problems: the adult actors are terrible, the editing is clumsy and a re-write in places would have improved things enormously.


No trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

A gay teenager slowly begins to reveal his sexuality. Struggling with school and home life, he finds solace in his daily video blog.
