Well-made evocation of the musings of a young man

With its long panning shots of a boy's locker room and the pensive musings of the young narrator, this film reminds the viewer of the work of Bruce Weber. It seems part Abercrombie and Fitch ad, part Calvin Klein Obsession ad, part the aspirations of a typical Belgian youth.

For millennia artists have seen and sought to capture the beauty and promise of the soon-to-be-mature male. In this short, the filmmaker does the same and is quite successful.

There is nothing terribly new here, but what is here is promise. Not only in the subjects but also in the filmmaker.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

This is a film about the dreams you have when you are young. A seventeen year old boy reveals his life philosophy of idealism, unity and friendship amongst his mates in the sports club. He believes he'll never leave glorious universe, which is, in fact, his youth.
