"They Can't Know About Me!"

The film is a tension filled character study of our main character Frank as he carries out a secretive and addictive lifestyle with destructive consequences for the family he is taking for granted. Frank, a young bisexual father and a husband, has never addressed or come to terms with his sexuality for fear of being ostracized in society. Though he has a fully intimate relationship with his wife Linda and love for his daughter Jen - Frank is still seeking out his repressed carnal desires. Frank regularly goes on shopping trips to Dublin city with his wife Linda and ten year old daughter Jen. While his wife and daughter are shopping, Frank is frequenting a quiet shopping centre and having clandestine sex with young Brazilian men in the centre's toilets. The film charts Frank's secret lifestyle and a tension filled day in which his routine is shattered when he falls victim to a sting operation by the shopping mall security who are hell-bent of exposing him. With the mirror finally held up - Frank must find a way to get out of the situation before his wife and daughter discover anything is wrong. The incident shakes him to the core and makes him realise what his unfaithful activities may end up costing him.
