What could be a hilarious short, is undercut by awful acting. Protagonists so annoying I wanted to continuously punch them in the face. Every line sounded painstakingly scripted, which is made more embarrassing when I read that the script was custom tailored to the actors. On the flipside, the premise was good enough to hold my interest all the way through, and there were a few funny one-liners.

Another short that proves theme conquers technique. In this case its obvious that festival programmers championed the LGBT theme over the fact the film is badly shot(this is not cinema verite, just ugly and uncomposed) and horribly acted.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
