Story line
This TV documentary was part of a Swedish series of portraits of young men and women born in the 1990's. This short movie is getting on the inside of a young man struggling to balance his interest between football and public exposure in dance shows on TV and the attention on his homosexuality. The latter created a wave of interested he was not prepared for and this is very well catched in this short movie. The questions raised have to be answered by the viewer. The camera is close without impacting on the story, a real fly-on-the-wall feeling. There is most likely material for much more than the 15 minutes, and it is a mystery it was not extended to a 45 minute format.
