    The point of this is..?
    The plot of this 15-minute short follows a young schoolteacher who is drawn to bareback sex parties, but the film gives absolutely no insight whatsoever into why. Basically we simply observe the main character's life in one scene after another and then the film ends. There is a brief classroom segment where he discusses self-mutilating behavior with a young student that appears to possibly have a connection to his own behavior but it ends up going nowhere, which made me wonder why the scene was included in the film in the first place. The film's production values are quite good with some effective performances and impressive cinematography, but they're not enough to carry the film's complete lack of any kind of introspection or characterization of the main actor. Without much of a script, it seemed to me to to be mostly purposeless.
