True life

Sadly, a rather accurate portrait of a typical gay hookup. It's well filmed and the actors are very good at simulating having sex as they are believable at every moment and nearly every moment of this 28 minutes short film is them having sex. They are both beautiful and enjoyable. One seems to be taking all of this beautiful night to have more meaning than the other one does leaving him alone when it's all over as he just more or less walks out. There's also some question among the two about masculinity that has an influence on the ending. There's not much more to this Hebrew film proving that gay men everywhere are pretty much the same. Some love one night stands. Others are looking for more. It's an interesting and honest observation. It is a lifestyle that I hope is dissipating with the advent of gay marriage, though I don't really know.

Impossibly Perfect
As a writer currently in the throes of trying to finish a manuscript, I am, after four screenings of this "little" gem, both starstruck and deeply moved by the impeccable writing and the stunning quality of the acting, particularly that of Chen Hafetz -- who should be on every director's shortlist for any and all film projects. As with all the great actors, the meaning can be found on his face. Being a college and sometime actor myself, I know what went into his performance -- and it wasn't anything someone taught him. It came from within.

As is so often the case, I wonder why we aren't seeing more of him. And the director never misses a moment of emotional meaning. This is a student film? Very difficult to believe. I only hope someone will take note of my comments and let me know of more of this ensemble's work. Bravo to the lot of you!

Sweet litlte film, I especially loved the realistic view into a gay hookup

Beuatiful and touching depiction of a typical gat hookup. In less than 30 minutes the film maker creates a short relationship between 2 strangers. Hope developes, reality hits. The realistic depiction, that is so rare about what gay sex can be. With lube, with (or without) a condom etc... Good actors and good direction and cinematogrophy. Really puts us in the apartment with two young lovers, for one night and one morning.
