Provocative seems be the fair term for define this very special short film. Because it propose a lot of things to viewer, each not so easy to assume.
A young latent gay man in prison. Persecuted by one of his jail mates, feeling attraction for other inmate, being not accepted , for his intime orientation by his mother, becoming free and being decide , before left the jail, to solve his duty to the inmate who you loves, rejecting him.
A great, poetic, gentle, sensitive and just impressing short drama about the way , the best way to assume yourself.
The result is just admirable .
You feel that.
Because the film not gives a good story but a strong kick to reflection about options, love, price of freedom and duty to yourself.
So, a provocative, in profound sense, film.

The inmate
searchanddestroy-110 July 2022
Sensitive little movie about a young convict, whom we find out he may have gay tendancies, only tendancies. He is calm, smooth, not the tough guy as we may expect from a con, even a gay one. Deep but unfortunately too short character study, about friendship, loyalty. Very moving story, thanks to this fantastic young actor who gives here a wonderful performance. Good but unfinished ending.
