The Carer

A gentle, short film about an older gay man, Ari, who checks into an elder care facility upon the death of his long-time partner. Ari has cancer, and finds himself under the care of a young man, Beau. Beau isn't gay, and doesn't seem familiar or interested to any great extent in Ari's life or history.

Nevertheless, a loose relationship develops as Beau senses the vulnerability of the older man. Taking advantage of the vulnerability leads to a twist in the story and a somewhat deeper affinity between the two.

While Ari's fragility seems like an opening for Beau to take advantage, a turn of events creates an interesting ending.

A slightly sentimental, but worthwhile watch.

Nicely acted.
