Alrighty then.

This is not a BL, and barely qualifies as LGBT. While the perspective character is a gay man, the story is entirely about a woman, and while her sexuality is not irrelevant to the plot, it doesn't revolve around it either.

The poster is really deceptive, and I feel sa if I was tricked into watching it.

It's shot well and the acting is good. The music is minimalist, but does a good job of supporting the film. This was well-done, but when it's over you may ask yourself what was the point of it.

How to survive in a heteronormative world

A poignant short film about two queer people trying to survive in this heteronormative world.

A young woman who loses her fanancial support and tries to find a way out of the situation.
A young man deep in the closet and hopelessly in love with a married man.
A married hetero man, who rather believes unsubstantiated rumours than listen to the subtle hints of his friend.

Two-and-a-half locations, minimal music, details are told with the camera, not with words.
I wonder if people who are not LGBTQ+ can easily understand this short film, but I hope they'd choose to look closely and will listen better than the straight friend here.
