It played as a short (it's only about 50 minutes) with a full length movie. It's a quirky and cute tale of two guys falling in love. One is rather brash, obnoxious and pushy. The other is shy, quiet and a bit of a nerd. The pushy guy basically gets the other guy to come out of his shell. This was shot in New Zealand and seeing a gay film that is set there was kind of surprising. Also (for 1988) this was pretty ahead of its time. The film isn't perfect--the low budget shows quite a bit; there's a needlessly bloody beating; some of the acting is bad; the story has its weak spots and (at times) the sound is inaudible. Still, the two lead actors are handsome and the tone of the film is very gentle and romantic. A very good quirky feel good gay film. Worth catching.
