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.
