Dreams stubbornly refuse to become reality for one young gay man in this creative short. Unable to come out to his family, a son (Andrew Lovern) instead fantasises about his suburban home being transformed into an upper-class mansion complete with parents who react with Shakespearean glee to his news. Contrasting with the humour of this fantasy is an important depiction of the difficulties many people have with revealing their sexuality to their families.
