On My Way

For me, one of admirable films for wise reflection, in honest tones , of fights, vulnerability, fears and self acceptance of characters. Difficult to define it, it is more than a good gay story but a fair portrait of humanity and self definition .

In essence, one of admirable short films about decisions , kindness, the discover of reality in which you live and the fear inspiring next step.

A young man , a Nigerian refugee, the boyfriend of the first and the relation of them, the difficulty of boyfriend of young guy to save apparences, continuing the affair and being good husband for his wife, his radical ddecision after the reaction of refugee, the story of refugee.

All is significant in the case of On My Way and covered by beautiful form of compassion.

I couldn't get the cause and effect. The arrival of Dayo, an asylum seeker, causes an upheaval in the lives of Niels and Antoine. I just don't see why an overnight set the momentous events rolling.

I didn't get the relationship between the two Belgians either. Niels is a confident, out, gay guy whereas Antoine is a married, uptight closet case. It's hard to imagine snatched, secret moments in a caravan before Antoine goes home to his family being satisfactory to a character such as Niels. What was he expecting?

Dayo's story was marginally interesting but in a timeframe of twenty two minutes, couldn't be developed properly.

The ending was equivocal. With Antoine out of the frame, are the other two going to get it on or will Dayo carry on to England? I'm glad it was left to our imaginations.
