CGiii Comment

Eeew...what a thoroughly unpleasant film.

A strange idea done strangely!


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

On his eighteenth birthday, Josh finds out he has HIV. At the moment of his diagnosis he also makes a mug explode! Superpowers? This film is about innocence, vulnerability and discovery; how power can be a curse, the harsh reality of accepting things you would not wish on anyone and most importantly: MOVING ON!
