In his 4th short movie the multi-talented British trans-filmmaker Jake Graf once again plays with our expectations in this delightful wee drama that he fills with surprises. When two rather lonely total strangers meet at an isolated bus-stop in the dark hours of early morning and strike up a conversation, they both gently reveal their unhappiness over which they neither have control. As they skirt around their problems, there is a commonality in their sadness which draws them to each other. They share a moment of tenderness and understanding in a way that only strangers can do, and by the time the first bus of the day arrives they have bonded so that there is no need to even verbalize about the pain of the night ….. and the days …. that preceded this chance encounter.
Graf as always brings his fine sensibility to these characters …. beautifully played by Nicole Gibson and Harry Rundle ……and as as like all his other films, makes us question our own take and perception on people’s sexual and gender identity in such a positive manner.
