A short film that seems to be about opening your mind.

Entertaining enough, this short film is about what happens when you don't meet the traditional definition of beauty. While its true that Stavros shouldn't be ridiculed for walking down the street as the film clearly shows, the big revelation for me was that his crush was on Zac Efron in his High School Musical days and he wants to meet someone just like that. A film asking us to look outside the conventional measure of beauty is undermined when the hero is infatuated with the most conventional beauty of all. It was for me, as RuPaul says, the moment when the curtain was pulled back on the Wizard of Oz. All this isn't real, even this movie telling you to be more real.
