The story focused mainly on Sieger's internal struggles of being gay as he gets attracted to one of his teammates, the more open-minded Marc. His fear is shown when he tries to have a girlfriend and be like one of his straight peers. The movie was able to capture the special friendship between the two boys quite naturally. Love that backward run smiles of Marc at the start. The scenes where the two boys exchange glances, kiss, train and play together are easy to understand by anyone who has experienced young love. No graphic sex scenes are shown in the film so even teenagers can safely watch it. The film also shows Sieg's relationship with his dad, his best friend Stef and his brother Ed.
Movie is well-paced unlike some of the slow moving gay-themed films I have watched. Photography is excellent and music is just right and not too overwhelming. I like the usage of blurred images turning to focus. It doesn't feel at all like a TV movie. It's worth watching all over again...
