Storyline:
A teenager like any other, Andri spends his time playing sports, learning to play the keyboard and hanging out with his friends. The exterior appearance is only that however, an appearance. His smile is forced, his laughter is rigid. He’s playing a role, a role passed on to him by society. As Andri’s desire for who he truly wants to be increases, the pressure builds.
User review:
Andri has a dilemma. How does he tell beer-drinking, football-loving tough-guy dad he’s gay.
Dad wants to know the name of his date and mum gets into the act too. Dad might have had pause for thought when Andri said he’d be having sushi outside instead of mum’s meatballs.
Andri’s solution is one that avoids face to face confrontation. I’m not going to leave a spoiler and reveal how butch dad reacts.
In the meantime, Andri is off on his date and to eat sushi for the first time ever.
This is a slight film, competently acted with good background music. Worth watching.
