In this multi-award winning short James (Niall Wright), an isolated and friendless young man has to come to terms with his sexuality whilst dealing with the pain of a dysfunctional family and the attentions of an elderly man. Only friendly teacher Mr. Sutherland (Matt Jennings) seems to offer an open ear. The honesty with which James addresses this difficult time in the character’s life is unflinching.
