Well-made and moving
James (Niall Wright) is a young boy growing up in Ireland. He has no friends and is very quiet and introverted. His parents are always arguing and he feels isolated. He starts to realize he's gay and has feelings for his English teacher Mr. Sutherland (Matt Jennings). This all comes to a negative (if realistic) conclusion.
Great gay short. Wright is an incredible actor. He doesn't have much dialogue but you can see the pain and confusion in his face clearly in coming to grips with his sexual orientation. Anybody--gay OR straight--would be able to identify with this kid. The supporting actors are all good too. The accents are great and the cinematography is beautiful. Very well-done and moving.
