CGiii Comment
Every now and then - when you least expect it - a film comes along that scrapes the very lining of your soul.
It will take a while before it settles...wait...this is a special film...it shows the vulnerability of men...those little, confused boys that they are - trying to tackle what they are and are not...in a man's world...a collision course of raw truth, fragile emotions and painful acceptance.
This is a mature piece of work, handled with compassion and grace. The performances are balanced, the photography is stunning...
You will be left speechless by their foolishness, by their instincts, by their fate...wait...it takes a little time before the dust settles...that's when the agony of choice really kicks in. And, life does goes on.
Quite simply: a stunning film.

The(ir) Blurb...
A promising career with the police, a baby on the way - Marc's life seems to be right on track. Then he meets fellow policeman Kay and during their regular jogs Marc experiences a never-before-felt sense of ease and effortlessness - and what it means to fall in love with another man. Torn between his family and his new feelings for Kay, Marc sees his world careening more and more out of control. Suddenly, his life is in free fall and Marc realizes that try as he may, he can't make everyone happy. Least of all, himself.
