People laugh at these ridiculous publications, they are ashamed, the youth must get rid of this disaster, these publications are made for money, otherwise no one will be a party to this disgrace.

One man HAD to leave everything or face imprisonment, and the other in a prison of secrecy and deceit. Even where openess is not punishable, it still take a lot of bravery to be who you are. This was a great piece of work.

This story was wonderfully told. Giving us the struggle of what we still face is countries that support LGBTQ and the heartbreaking story of a man who must flee or lose his freedom. Well done 👏
How moving film. The solidarity Niels shares with a complete stranger, simply touching. If I may quote an American philosopher, Richard Rorty: "Solidarity is something that does not come with us, humans, it develops, it creates..." and Niels exemplifies so perfectly this with Dayo. A simply moving and brilliant movie.
Well said!!
People laugh at these ridiculous publications, they are ashamed, the youth must get rid of this disaster, these publications are made for money, otherwise no one will be a party to this disgrace.
What’s so sad and fucked up about this story is it’s so common. Religious & social stigma has so vilified something so natural as love that innocent people wind up getting hurt & sometimes ending their lives unable to live their truth. I love that the young man in this story didn’t dwell and go through the, “Why Me’s” and just saw the end and moved on. Great film
I love how real, poignant, vulnerable and yet still hopeful and “unfinished” this story is presented. Well Done to its cast and crew, to its script writer and director, and to its backers! It reminded me of Mr Sammler’s Planet.
Thank you! Full credit to the cast and crew!
WOW....What CAPTIVATING STORYTELLING! Such an EXCELLENT WORK-OF-ART! PLEASE turn it into a full length film-I SO want to know what happens after this film's ending! BRAVO to the screenwriter, director, crew, and your WONDERFUL CAST!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. I would LOVE to see this made into a full-length movie.
The juxtaposition of the Nigerian gay with a closeted gay man in Belgium is fascinating.
Even cross dresser (Bobrisky) been jail in Nigeria, fu-k country
time flew by watching this beautiful film, it would be nice to see how it continues. good screenwriter, good director and good actors.
Hello
"To thine own self be true." - for so many people, unfortunately, that's simply impossible. Powerful film. Congratulations.
Imagine how hard it is in countries where homosexuality does not have legal backup when it is so difficult in progressive countries
If certain groups in the U.S. have their way we just might end up like those countries. Read the room.
hard? Just like opposite genders lol :P
@@johnhagans2190 Indeed. Better not take anything for granted.
Like mine, Ghana 🇬🇭 😢
@@NickiisaLYRICISTaww I am proud of you ❤work hard move away maybe 😢
What a complete and moving film. Thank you. Deeply moving performances.
A sad but beautiful in its own way. At the end the 2 of them leaving behind the old life searching for something better.
WOW! This story was so beautiful and heartbreaking the emotion between the 2 lovers just leaped off the screen. These actors were incredible. I absolutely adore these short films but like someone else said in the comments I want more of this story. Thank goodness for YT cause I don't think many people like myself would even see all this amazing talent otherwise. Great job to all those involved!😉👏👏
Sobre, vrai, excellent. La déchirure quotidienne.
It would be nicer if the lighting is brighter...although, it was a good story.
A beautiful film. It hits close to home for me.....
The story of my life very beautifully expose in this film❤😢
Aca en Argentina hace 14 años q los hombres se pueden casar entre ellos 😊❤🇦🇷🇦🇷!!!
Fue lo mejor , ahora el chico puede tener una relación que donde no tenga que esconderse 😊
Phenomenal! Best short film I have seen in a very long time. Brilliant acting all round. I just wish there will be a part two.
Would love to see this expanded into a more complete storyline, although what is here is very powerful.
Tellement bien fait et fin… BRAVO
Excelente la trama,la actuación ...y el final abierto me pareció atrapante.🇦🇷👏👏👏
Que triste realidad , pero es asi y no se puede culpar a nadie.
It's a great short, but man, i want more. :)
Have a look out for Sonam’s other shorts, After The Silence and Tristan!
Lamentablemente el final!! Pero creo que se quedó con el nigeriano y fueron felices. Buen corto!!!❤❤❤.
Incredible film
Hey
@@RPBBARIYA Yeah
@@magnetdesignandadver how are you
@@RPBBARIYA I'm very well thanks. How and who in the movie world are you?
@@magnetdesignandadver i just wanted to talk with you
That was fantastic! I'd like to think that indeed "it's different here" but I'm not sure how long that will last, if it ever was true to begin with.😢
Complimenti a tutta la produzione ........
All of us are in prison, one way or another. Some choose not to be.
Beautiful work
Comovente , verdadeira e lindo. Obrigado ❤
Beautiful film ..poignant and the juxtaposition between the lives of two characters was heartbreaking. It's not easy even if there is freedom as life is complex yet simple in many ways.
Great story. Niels such a compassionate individual. Very giving and heartfelt with how he helped a total stranger (Dayo) fleeing his own turmoil. In the end Niels must've known the risks of having an affair with a married man. I applaud how he absorbed it (obviously very painfully) at its conclusion. Fantastic short!
Beautiful, sad, and lonely all the same.
Excelente corto, muy bueno el argumrnto, felicitaciones
Loved it! Very well done.
Sensível e profundo! Direção cuidadosa e sensível! Interpretações profundas, empáticas! Sensitive and deep! Careful and sensitive steering! Deep, empathetic interpretations!
Beautiful cinematography and great acting. A great setting for a great story, but I'm not fond of the open end. As a Dutchman, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Dutch. Niels is an incredibly handsome man. I loved that he easily switched between Dutch, French, and English. I want to see more of Niels. The actor's name is Tijmen Govaerts.
Qué buen cortometraje... no pudimos evitar hacer una reseña del mismo en nuestra revista web. Mil gracias por compartirlo... Besitos!!!
La fin pose quand même beaucoup de questions.....
What did it make you think?
@@ShortFrameFilm Antoine a peur ....de lui même,du quand dira-t'on,de ne pas être dans la norme....
@1phildefer323 considering he's a married man...he protect his married life than his feelings.
Lindo 👏👏👏🇧🇷
It's just so beautiful and Heart touching. Nothing else to say. ❤ Thanks so much for sharing this film with us ❤
Our pleasure!
Yeah it really was just about to cry even Just remembering this Film because they are all in really controvers hard Situations and more or less try to Go through IT IS gorgious, amazing Totally beautiful and unfortunately true. That all makes IT so touching and so sad. This Film really Made me cry in Way Philadelphia did in late '90s. You couldn't have Done it better. It IS perfect, Dear! Blessings to you ❤️
It's all in your mind sometimes to liberate yourself🤔
Felicitaciones, con que poco se puede contar tanto!
Чудовий фільм я захваті ❤. Щиро дякую Вам.
Beautiful ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
The name "Dayo", might have been originated from Sanskrit or Austronesian ancient language. In the Filipino Tagalog language, the name translates to "Immigrant".
well,i'm from Nigeria and "Dayo" is a cut-out from a full 'yoruba' name. we can have Temi-dayo or Ade-dayo, "dayo" means '...becomes joy'
@@testimonytimilehin5947As it should…na so!
Buena y linda, cosas de la vida❤
A few years ago at Brighton Pride they played a video on the big screens. It was "Someday" (there's a place for us) with visuals telling us how far the UK had come with equality and how many countries around the world still persecuted LGBTQ+ people. Rather than focusing on campaigning to get worldwide equality we have gone to the extremes of accepting people can be cats, it's OK to stop a child going through puberty and how I'm now likely to cancelled for not referring to someone as Ze/Zie and Zir! Anyway, rant over. Loved this short, I just wish it wasn't an accurate reflection of what people are experiencing in real life.
Superb!
Muitos elogios, e muitas perguntas a fazer. Um filme MUITO ESCURO, sem iluminação nenhuma, agravada ainda maia pela cerração. Aquele namorado dele, o barbudo, foi embora com a mulher? E o nigeriano e o galego foram viver seu " love story," aonde? Filme premiado por abordar uma temática gay? Non credo più.!!!
This could be Uganda.
True
This short had more emotion and depth, than most 2hour films
Why are these gay movies so dark in the background. Can’t even see the actors let alone what’s going on around them. Do they have light bulbs in Belgium ?
Such a stupid and unnecessary comment.
L’ Amore è splendido e potente, come la vita.. A volte è costretto a farsi strada nelle condizioni più impervie, come un seme trasportato dal vento che deva crescere e farsi strada fra il cemento e l’ asfalto..
Most of this clip flim at night why why can’t see much . 😊😊😊😊😊 great clip. It still happening now some Caribbean u can’t be gay wrong wrong
Court , douloureux, un espoir peut être de quelques choses de meilleur pour ces 2 là 😏
Tge cinematography is so good, this impresif for just short film
Amei 😘🤩👍👋👋👋
Sem preconceito! Humildade! Isso é o amor! Simplesmente! ❤❤❤❤❤
Well done ❤
A great short film. And as great short films do, it leaves me wanting more. Thank You for this. 💙
Our pleasure!
Lindíssimo!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Magnífico!
Thank you ❤
Love this short film!! 😢❤ I'm waiting for second 2 of free fall 😅
Un perdu et un gagné ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Beautifully made ❤️❤️
Who knows how many gays people do the open minded white countries have adopted? UK, France, America and etc. God bless these countries which accept us.
Mooi film. Dank je 🤩
Moi je trouve l histoire très bien . Ça montre que le mec n assume pas qu’il sois gay . Il est marié. Combien de gay ce cache pour ne pas être pointé du doigt. Et ce qui se montre qu ils sont gay son juge. Je préfère qu il se protège des gens méchant. A tous les gay ❤❤❤❤💋🌹
Love is love ❤
Good short film .
Glad you enjoyed it!

Poor Kenny Loggins
Another foreign film where you have to guess at the ending. It could have been a great story.
Not every story or film has an American Hollywood ending. I thought the ending was quite clear in this film.
I thought the ending was clear enough. Both guys were on their way.
Wow!!!! Thank you !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Es sencillo .el veterinario dejó al rubio y el rubio decidió poner tierra de por medio yéndose con su nuevo amigo
For me, the fact that no one died in a gay short film makes it a happy ending. Life is full of possibilities. Even when things are bad, we always have hope.
If you know that he is married...you know waht will hapen at the end..Wrong , YOU'R wrong..
THE SCREEN IS ALWAYS BLACK. WHY SPEND MONY TO MAKE A FILM IF IT IS TO SHOW A BLACK SCREEN ? NEXT TIME SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GIVE US VOICES ONLY.
Que perdida de tiempo ver esto.
😮😢 NÃO GOSTEI, O MARIDO FOI MAIS UM FRACO, 😔🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒
Who would take a stranger into your home?
I did 12 years ago, and now that person is my best friend, he and his family.
@@juanquintana6070 That is a careless thing to do and you could even lose your life because of it.
Ужасная игра. Полная несовместимость. Позорище
Another gay film where literally nothing happens
I don't consider this a gay film. This goes more on the human side, especially migrants, people searching for a better life.
Понравился фильм. Очень хорошо сыграли.
Tellement bien fait et fin…BRAVO
