Far West

Eric (though he prefers Ricky) is unhappy that he has to leave Paris for a week to visit his grandfather on the farm. He'd much rather practice his dance routines with the boys he hangs out with.

His grandfather is a rough no-nonsense farmer who's got little patience for a spoiled boy from the city. Plus Ricky is gay and has never come out to his grandfather and doesn't like the idea of having to be closeted for the week.

However Ricky is intrigued by the new farmhand Jean-Didier who is features prominently in Ricky's cowboy oriented fantasies.

When Ricky's two friends show up from the city, the irrepressibly gay boys shake things up and amid several discoveries; Ricky and his Grandfather connect on a new level.

This light hearted short is polished and well made and the boys are easy on the eye and while there are some spots that ring untrue, I look forward to seeing more of this director's work.

It could have done without the comic relief and there's a lot going on without anything really happening.

It's another one that could have made a good feature length film. I'd like to explore their histories and what lead them to this point and what the results are following these discoveries. I don't know why you would make this a short film when there is obviously so much more to it than what fits in to 20 minutes.

I do wonder if Jean-Didier could come and help me with my garden though, what a great bottom!?

Also, I wouldn't give any of them work as dancers!
