Even though Ben (Brandon Tyler Harris) and Leo (Adam Jepsen) have been
together for 4 months now, Ben refuses to put out - so much so that Leo
grows suspicious ... and he has every right to, because Ben is secretly
... heterosexual, in a world where gay is normal and heterosexual is
outlawed. Ben has a girlfriend, Emily (Cole Johnston), but they have to
hide their relationship, not only from the law but also from their
friendly neighbourhood bullies who do nothing rather than beat up those
damned heteros. Problem is, Ben has impregnated Emily, and a (secret and
illegal) abortion fails, exposing their scandalous relationship ... One
just has to love this film's premise that boldly turns general perceptions
of homo- and heterosexuality onto their heads to tell a weirdly subverted
story. But that said, the film is not a one-trick pony relying merely on
its premise, but it succeeds in creating an interesting "world"
its characters inhabit and tells its story with plenty of heart without
ever becoming saccharine, but also plenty of suspense to keep the audience
at the edge of their seats.
