    I've one heck of a lump in my throat right now and caught a big sobbing sigh I think they could hear in the other room. He didn't find the boyfriend, but he found that his precious son had loved and been loved. I'm sure it broke his heart not only that his son didn't have the confidence of his father's unconditional love to come out to him, but that he didn't get to witness and share his son's happiness. Well done; I'll recommend it to many. Jay, Seattle USA

    The writer or writers behind this deserves a standing ovation and a abounding amount of praises. Not only was it beautiful...it was touching, inspiring and deserve to have a extended version. A Oscar, Golden Globe, Academy Award or Emmy is what this short film needs. It needs to be view by a larger crowd. A1 work to my standards.

    I wish John had met the boyfriend. He never got to truly know his son completely and I'd bet anything that what's eating away at him. Meeting the boyfriend, talking to someone who also shared his son's love would have meant closure for him. And yet he doesn't get to. He wanders alone looking for something he may never get. And that really breaks my heart.

    • @natasjaromain376

      Maybe he did meet him without knowing.
      Paul hadn’t come out to his dad when he died, maybe his boyfriend hasn’t come out to his family yet either, and so he doesn’t want to reveal himself to his “father in law”.
      Either way I liked the ending. Open but closed.
      When the dad saw the note he realized that the boyfriend knows about Paul’s death.
      As he sat down on the bench I saw him finally mourn the loss of his boy.
      From my point of view his search to find and inform the boyfriend about Paul’s passing, wasn’t really about finding the guy, it was more a way for him to show Paul wherever he is that he accepts and loves him. A way of having that conversation they both were robbed of, because of his untimely death.
      Very well made! ♥️

    To me this can also serve as a salutary warning about regret and judgement. The young man appeared to be 19 when he died. The father uses the term sneaking off. The father also seems to be focused on a much earlier time in the boys life maybe a time of innocence and non-judgement he finds easier to deal with. Thank you for an open and poignant peace that has triggered me looking once again at my own judgement of others and maybe actions that can lead to regret.

    @ricktomlinson5481 5 лет назад +6

    What an excellent and well done film ! How my heart aches for this father and how I so much wanted him to find his son alive and ok. BUT the story I suppose is a metaphor for so many kids that for one reason or another leave home and as life goes on there is no resolution in their lives because of misunderstandings and differences. Gay kids can really be subject to this dislocation and this film is a cautionary story to parents and kids to see, to think, to ponder what life is really about...... LOVE ! As to the 64 thumbs down I could not understand that in a film so well done ! Then I realized that perhaps the sadness of this story may have caused this. So many levels to evaluate film. Thank you for posting this gem!

    At first I was thinking “Nooo! Where is my happy ever after moment where the dad meets the boyfriend?”
    But…
    Maybe he did meet him without knowing.
    Paul hadn’t come out to his dad when he died, maybe his boyfriend hasn’t come out to his family yet either, and so he doesn’t want to reveal himself to his “father in law”.
    So when I was done crying about my missing fairytale ending, I actually liked the ending.
    Open but closed.
    When the dad saw the note he realized that the boyfriend knows about Paul’s death.
    As he sat down on the bench I saw him finally mourn the loss of his boy.
    From my point of view his search to find and inform the boyfriend about Paul’s passing, wasn’t really about finding the guy, it was more a way for him to show Paul wherever he is that he accepts and loves him. A way of having that conversation they both were robbed of, because of his untimely death.
    I may have understood the movie a completely different way than was intended by the maker, but that’s the beauty of movies, books, music and other type of art, well of life itself even, that we all experience it differently and that’s okay. As long as it makes us feel, it’s a success! What we feel is less important.
    Very well made! ♥️

    Not perfect, but you got a lot of things right. The flashback imagery was really good. That's how you remember people who have passed...glimpses, the feeling of someone resting against you when they are sleeping, laughing together. Loss is excruciating. I honestly don't think I could survive losing a child.

    I get that the father sees the note that Paul's lover wrote and put on the grave, so the father realizes that the boyfriend already knows Paul is dead. I guess also he feels happy that Paul's last few moths were full of love. Very nice, music and cut shots and suspense. Acting was a little stiff, but what the heck! I still really liked it.

    ❤💛🧡💚💙💜🤎🖤 True Story: there was a shooting at a gay club in my town. Many gay couples, bfs and local gays were murdered. Many of them were not out or did not tell their families they went out or who they were with that night. Most them didn't have ids on them so it took days for the police/hospital to identify them. It was heartbreaking 💔😢!!
    This movie reminds me of the parents/families that were looking for answers after being told their son/relative/bf had died in the shooting.
    It was so sad seeing all these mothers/fathers crying out for help and answers.
    The most memorable was the single mom, crying out on the news holding two pictures, 1 of her son and 1 of his newly engaged fiance. They went out that night to celebrate wth friends but never came home.
    This is a true story, because I lived to tell it....

    Very sad movie. Many people disappear from our lives and we just never know. We never know. I'm sure that I lost a lot of them during the AIDS epidemic. I just never heard from them again and I never knew. I still don't know. People just seemed to just go away. No too many understand our deep hurt inside that we try to block with laughter. Inside many of us a grieving for the ones we have lost. Growing older and fearing to make any great friendships. We fear the facing of heartbreak all over again. All the faces in our memories that we will never see again. No one really left to weep when I die.

      Piri Gonzalez - I used to have an old Rolodex, just cards w names, numbers and addresses filed alphabetically. Back in the 80’s when AIDS was a death sentence, I would sometimes find myself with too many funerals to go to on the weekends and have to pick which ones I would attend. Then one day I realized that my Rolodex was becoming empty as the years passed. I had a habit of moving the cards of those that passed to the back, sort of my way of remembering them, I didn’t want to just throw the cards away. All of the black letter dividers were towards the front and the back was full. When I later transferred the addresses to a computer I counted them, I’d lost over, well over 200 friends. Thinking of them, they seemed to be the best of us, the brightest, the best looking, the most friendly. I just wanted to say you aren’t alone, there are others who have lost friends and acquaintances. My heart is with you.

    Well done. I'd just like to see more LGBT movies which encourage and uplift. For decades it seems like 90% of the gay-themed movies we've seen end in tragedy, or portray gays who are living 'happy' lives until they try to accept their true sexual identity, after which all hell breaks loose. Is it too much to ask for film-makers to at least give gays a happy ending, even if they have to suffer a bit getting there? Maybe it's just too easy to make a "dramatic" film if you can lean on misery and heartbreak.

    If you enjoy Gay, Coming of Age videos and stories, you’ll want to read Cameron DeCessna’s latest book, Clay Parker: Growing Up Gay in 1953. It’s the story of a fourteen-year-old boy confused by his feelings, thoughts and dreams as he reaches adolescence and finds his sexual interests are for other teenaged boys. But it's 1953, a time of conservatism and rigid family and moral values. To top off Clay's problems, he's an orphan forced to live with an abusive aunt and uncle who openly show their distaste for the lad who was severely burned when a house fire killed his mother, father and younger brother. They would be the last persons he could turn to, to help him cope with his alien feelings. This is the story of Clay's troubles, trials and final triumph as he strives to find a family who will love him after he is forced to run away from home after a severe beating by his drunken uncle. The book contains graphic sexual descriptions that may not be suitable for children under 12, although it would be highly recommended reading for gay teens to raise their awareness of the struggles of adolescent gay boys in earlier times. Cameron DeCessna is a gay novelist best known for his Jordan Dare Trilogy, released in mid-summer of 2018 and available at Amazon Kindle Books. While the Jordan Dare series is written for all readers, 12 and up, and has no adult-only content, some of DeCessna's works are more suitable for adult readers. This novel, Clay Parker: Growing up Gay in 1953, is the first of several gay, coming-of-age stories the author plans to release in late 2018 and 2019. DeCessna, born in 1951, writes from personal experience and vividly captures the difficulties faced by gay adolescents during those times.

    I enjoyed this movie very much. Its well done and takes a different approach to relationships of this kind and makes one think about things we take for granted in a relationship and how we can't turn back the clock and do things differently. And that life is not neat and tidy without loose ends so we need to do and say the things we should to those we care about. My only confusion is at the end with the note and rose by the grave. The note at the grave was on white paper torn from a wire bound notebook but Paul's boyfriend was writing on yellow paper in a pad and signed 'wherever you are'. So who was that note from at the grave? From Adrian?

    I appreciate the incredible caring for the theme and the quality of the film, but there were so many possibilities for what was going on especially towards the end that suddenly it did not feel grounded to me, i.e. no clear picture even with the hints that are given, or at least hints that are hinted at but never shown clearly. Still, beautifully done. I wanted a resolve that was clear and left no room for interpretation after such an arduous search. For the dad it was real, but for the observer, the end was just too fluid. Not that it wasn't good or believable, not that dad wasn't satisfied or at peace which in some ways that is all that matters, While his goal to find was completed, to meet this person would still be pressing on any ordinary father. I believe he followed through after this. I would.

      OF COURSE HE DID. And I would think the surviving partner of the deceased would want to meet the father if he knew how hard the father had looked for him. Just knowing his partner's father was looking for him would be a gift.Any father who tried to do what he did merits a shared time with his son's partner. Dad's search evidenced the kind of man he was.... for sure. How many partner's fathers are not actively in their son's lives? Quite a few.

    If you enjoy Gay, Coming of Age videos and books, you’ll want to consider Cameron DeCessna’s latest book, Clay Parker: Growing Up Gay in 1953. It’s the story of a fourteen-year-old boy confused by his feelings, thoughts, and dreams as he reaches adolescence and finds his sexual interests are for other teenage boys. But it's 1953, a time of conservatism and rigid family and moral values. To top off Clay's problems, he's an orphan forced to live with an abusive aunt and uncle who openly show their distaste for the lad who was severely burned when a house fire killed his mother, father, and younger brother. They would be the last persons he could turn to, to help him cope with his alien feelings. This is the story of Clay's troubles, trials, and final triumph as he strives to find a family who will love him after he is forced to run away from home after a severe beating by his drunken uncle.

    Also, if you enjoy stories and books about ghosts and the supernatural, you might be interested in reading CAMERON DECESSNA’S Jordan Dare trilogy of novels that include Jordan Dare and the Kidnapped Ghost, Jordan Dare and the Tolchester Ghost and Jordan Dare and the Captive Spirit. These three intertwined novels feature a gay protagonist who, since the age of thirteen, has been able to see and speak with recently departed or murdered gay men and teens that, for some reason, are unable to “move on”. His ability leads to one adventure after another as he helps to solve murders, right wrongs and help the deceased settle their earthly affairs. Even though Jordan is gay, the books contain no graphic sexual content. His preference does affect how he deals with the gay spirits sent to him by some unknown entity. By the end of the third book, Jordan learns more about his mentor and discovers an alternate world in which he has a greater destiny to fulfill, thus setting the stage for other Jordan Dare novels. www.amazon.com/Jordan-Dare-Kidnapped-Ghost-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B07GZX757M

    A really sweet and well-filmed story, but the real mystery seems to allude me. The son just disappeared - ran away from home! I'm not seeing any signs of this being a LGBT film, here. As always with the English, the diction was fine, but subtitles would have helped a bit. In the end, it is the story of a loving father who lost his son. Sad - but normal, not gay.
