SYNOPSIS
OSCAR (21) and Aiden (21) are best friends. To earn some extra money, Aiden suggests producing gay content for an online platform – even though both boys are apparently straight. Oscar is hesitant, but agrees. Just before they upload their first video, Oscar has second thoughts. He is afraid that the people in the village might really think he is gay. A discussion between the lads arises that reveals how they really feel about each other. While Oscar admires Aiden for his strength and self-confidence, Aiden seems to have more than friendly feelings for Oscar.
LOOKING FOR
OSCAR (21)
Oscar is a slender, sensitive young lad who has a certain depth and sadness to him. He feels he is inferior to most other boys his age, and he would like to be more masculine. Oscar admires Aiden for his strength and would like to be as popular as he is. Aiden is one of his closest friends, and Oscar would never want to lose him.
This character will be wearing underwear in one scene.
