      Sharlin Lucia- I would also suggest short films of gay men in mid 20s to 30s struggling coming out. While serving a very useful need and purpose for teen boys, there is a dearth of such shorts for the former. Nonetheless, great work so far!

    What a beautiful film! As a Dutchman, I learnt German at secondary school. I hated the cases and I hated the sound of the language. But when I watched this film, I was reminded that German can sound so sweet and loving, especially because of the song sung by Max at the end. Ich möchte sagen, dieser Film ist wunderbar.

    Der Short-Film ist so schön gemacht. So, wie es sein muss. Eine kleine Geschichte um einen schüchternen Jungen, der es traut sich zu öffnen. Und dann ist genau an der richtigen Stelle auch Schluss. Die Art mit dem Konzert am Ende gibt noch den perfekten Spannungshöhepunkt zum Schluss. Der Love-Song passt wunderbar zum Wesen der schüchternen Hauptfigur, die darüber hinaus auch schauspielerisch kaum hätte noch besser dargestellt werden können.

    This movie makes me cry every time I watch it, since in my younger days I used to have a best friend who looked like Leon, and I wanted to spend my life with. He never committed to me, so I ended up moving away. We remained friends for several years, and still have limited conversations every now and then on social media. He ended up getting married to a woman, and has a daughter. We are both in our golden years now, and I never found anyone I loved as much, and doubt I will at this point in my life. Thank you for the beautiful way too short story!

Goodness gracious, I listen to it when Im sad because it makes feel good and reminds me of good things in the world to be and try staying happy for. Thanks to PAUL for this beautiful music.
