It's a quiet story. No need to big dramatic acting to show deep feelings, just details, no bog dialogues and communicate so well using few words. Good story, good cast, good film. OCNGRATULATIONS!

very good one

[@strangerbrothers9902]

When so many films made by and for our community are centered on the on the young and good-looking, it's refreshing to see one that deliberately breaks the mold. It was a very touching story with a happy after everything else ending that was beautifully acted. Thank you.

It was so sweet. It's nice to see a love story where the characters aren't 20yr old model types. But, regular people who fall in love. Maybe I will some day. Beautiful!!! And congratulations to all who made this film possible.

[@fadrianbartley4419]

yes we need to see that more often, older version of people are more relaxing and breath taking anyway

[@dandoescreative]

I love how this film illustrates the idea that whatever stage of life we are at that when it comes to finding love or making a connection with someone else that we should remain hopeful - it may be just around the corner, or on the next park bench and we need only follow the compass of the human heart. Well done Mr. Graf!

[@terrygibson7143]

A beautiful, sensitive film about two men who fall in love. And it has a happy ending - fantastic! I am crying tears of joy.

[@Flughafenkaiser]

Excellence through simplicity a unique production in a reletively unlikely situation. Or is it? If only real life had happy endings with acceptance, understanding and the freedom of love to be expressed in such a warm and hopeful way, makes it possible for every tomorrow to be filled with sunshine. I dream on....arab men are mysteriously beautiful. Proof that love conquers everything no matter how, what , why, where who and when . Not necessarily in that order either . It a long time since a short film commanded my full attention and admiration.

[@nanniberto76]

I have just discovered this gem nine years after its production. Everything is balanced, light but not superficial, delicate and strong, silent but full of meaning. Thank you for this masterpiece.

[@windnaria7975]

I saw this during Pride week in Finland in summer 2019. It was shown last out of the maybe 9 short films and everyone who was there, including me, left that theatre crying. This movie stayed on my mind after that. It's just so beautiful. I checked every now and then afterwards if it was available on KZbin and today I finally found out it is. I am still brought to tears watching this. I'm so extremely glad I found this and will show it to everyone I know. Thank you for making this.

[@jamietoland3677]

Beautiful, short film, lovely. poignant, acting, genuine slice of life, well filmed with simple, basic, meaningful dialogue.. words used sparsely and wisely, allowing for the characters to connect and bond beautifully in silent moments through eye contact and simple gestures and body language. rich concepts allowed to unfold so naturally. and. tender loving treatment of the development of the friendship and deeper feelings of the two men. and being a single man of a certain age, of course the film was touching and sad and beautiful and hopeful.
