In a gay character study, a young man leaves his hometown in the Australian
outback for Sydney, where he turns to sex work to help him end his life by
drowning in the ocean.
Despite his mechanical and detached approach to sex, he gradually opens up
emotionally when he meets a cheerful man. Their encounters lead him to share his
sad backstory and confront his self-guilt, though his inability to forgive
himself keeps him from moving on.
The film explores the transformative power of sex, with the protagonist
moving from purely physical encounters to a desire for love. While the film has
some on-the-nose moments, it ultimately
offers a wholesome and hopeful portrait of a gay protagonist. |
