What happened as a fledgling homosexual when like in the nineties dating sites weren’t at your fingertips? Max’s answer: head to the nearest glory hole.
This film aims to move away from conventional queer-teen narratives with isolated protagonists and high drama “coming out” scenes. Instead, SMCD centres on how Jordan is made complicit in his brother Max’s sexual exploration through accompanying him, and the effect this has on the brothers’ relationship. The appeal of the glory hole is wrapped up in issues of insecurity and the preservation of anonymity. It’s a potent site for exploring the fears that persist after coming out, and provides an original, shocking climax to the film.
There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
