Double POV for a love story

I am still trying to figure out what have I just watched: a short bl movie or a governement sponsored film about dangers of hook ups(song with animation!)....An experimental movie? A student assignment?

There are two parts in this movie, each telling the story of how they met from different points of view. The parts a separated by a weird song sung by a brilliant actress in a bizarre role of Cupid(?!?). Other than that, the movie has no dialogue and everything is told through gestures and looks. Sometimes less is more, as they say!

One guy is a shy photographer, the other bullies him and then falls for him. The actors played their roles well: we could see every though that was going through their minds: the reluctance to approach, the courage to apologize, the audacity to confess.

I saw a very bad quality copy on youtube but the production value does not seem very high, editing is a bit choppy and there was no need for this weird Cupid: the story was perfectly fine without that singing/animated interlude. The music was awful: it sounded like elevator/porn music: one short theme repeated over and over again with slight changes and synthesizer rhythm section. Very distracting! The movie is actually 11min long, the rest are credits!
