One man HAD to leave everything or face imprisonment, and the other in a prison of secrecy and deceit. Even where openess is not punishable, it still take a lot of bravery to be who you are. This was a great piece of work.

I love how real, poignant, vulnerable and yet still hopeful and “unfinished” this story is presented. Well Done to its cast and crew, to its script writer and director, and to its backers! It reminded me of Mr Sammler’s Planet.

Today is 15th April...I am in Jammu(India)...watching this in my room at 11 pm while there is raining outside....and I would Say that the one of the greatest feeling I am getting rn...Coz these kinds of short films is my Comfort zone...(BTW I forgot to tell that I am 19 yrs straight girl)

This story was wonderfully told. Giving us the struggle of what we still face is countries that support LGBTQ and the heartbreaking story of a man who must flee or lose his freedom. Well done 👏

"To thine own self be true." - for so many people, unfortunately, that's simply impossible. Powerful film. Congratulations.

What’s so sad and fucked up about this story is it’s so common. Religious & social stigma has so vilified something so natural as love that innocent people wind up getting hurt & sometimes ending their lives unable to live their truth. I love that the young man in this story didn’t dwell and go through the, “Why Me’s” and just saw the end and moved on. Great film

Rare to see such a gem of a short movie. Exploring the complexity of the matter with such delicacy and convincing force is a work of a poet

A sad but beautiful in its own way. At the end the 2 of them leaving behind the old life searching for something better.

The juxtaposition of the Nigerian gay with a closeted gay man in Belgium is fascinating.

Phenomenal! Best short film I have seen in a very long time. Brilliant acting all round. I just wish there will be a part two.

Excelente la trama, la actuación ...y el final abierto me pareció atrapante.🇦🇷👏👏👏

[lajinkccat]

WOW! This story was so beautiful and heartbreaking the emotion between the 2 lovers just leaped off the screen. These actors were incredible. I absolutely adore these short films but like someone else said in the comments I want more of this story. Thank goodness for YT cause I don't think many people like myself would even see all this amazing talent otherwise. Great job to all those involved!😉👏👏
