What It's About
Spoiler-free. Read the analysis below for the full argument.
A short film that follows Wes, a closeted gay man in his early 20's, as he struggles to come to terms with his sexuality and Phil, a deeply religious father in his late 30's, who struggles with his past as a conversion therapist and his son's recent coming out. Wes' plans to hire a prostitute to show him the ropes of homosexuality and Phil's plans to hire a hitman for an assisted suicide are cut short when the two mistake one another for their respective hires at a bar. After realizing their mistake, the pair enter a night of honesty and growth as they find comfort in the anonymity of a stranger-to-stranger connection.
