"Alex" (co-writer/director James Fanizza) and "Nelson" (Guifre Bantjes-Rafols) have been living together for quite a while when the nephew of the latter arrives in town. Conveniently, "Nelson" has to go out of town for a bit leaving the beautifully manscaped "Alex" to look after "Sebastian" (Alex House). It doesn't take long before they are in each others' shorts and the melodrama starts from there... This is a poorly acted and written piece of cinema that ticks just about every gay stereotypical box you can imagine, possibly even some you can't. Fanizza's character is emotionally sterile and his support "bubble" (to use a 2020 word) is as superficial as it is thoughtless and selfish. There isn't even any decent sex to liven it up from it's introspection. "Nelson" you're well out of it, luv!
