    fine job

    Not the story, but the fine storytelling is the basic good point of this short film. A film about identity, courage, love and acceptance. And about rage. The play of nuances represents its basic point. And the science to not use the easy solutions for a drama who seems real simple - it is- but who has potential of parable. A good sportif and his secret . His friend, his girl friend, a party reminding "Carrie" scene and the option changing everything. And the best end. Because it seems the only reasonable.
