Another LGBTQ themed film to lure the gay audiences and yet it ends in Homophobia. But this time I wasn't insulted much. In fact I like the story of the film. Good casting, well run screenplay, some bland acting but still will do. One good thing too is they never exploit much the nudity (for me it's unnecessary) but mixing some religious scene it's an obvious hint that it is not a happy LGBTQ themed movie, it annoys me but we must accept the norm of society. This movie also is almost the same as the story of "Stadt Land Fluss" (Harvest 2011) but with more intimacy and well explained story about the main characters and how their life story plays. A young man(Szabolcs), a football player that after a loss came to a question of his personality and happiness. Went back home to an inherited farm house, his solitude was paid with love by but a man (Aaron) whom also trouble on his sexual orientation. He got a gay friend whom also his lover, his father and the football is always be there for him waiting but he ended deciding for his happiness. Sad and I never expect a tragic ending. But everything is concluded, Aaron is troubled for everything that happens in his life. Before he met Szabolcs he used to have a loving girl, a circle of friends and a welcoming religious community, and a mother but all got screwed. All of his mishap and also the death of his mother was blamed to Szabolcs. The Homophobia here enters Aaron itself, his enemy is his self alone. Selfishness and cowardice dominates him making him unable to appreciate and fight for the love of Szabolcs that he choosed to better end it with a crime yet we know he'll troubled for the rest of his life.
