When confronted with his past and present, will Phil (Louis Hofmann) fight - or take flight? After a summer away at camp, Phil returns home to find that his mother, Glass (Sabine Timoteo), and twin sister, Dianne (Ada Philine Stappenbeck), aren't speaking to one another. Not willing to confront his family during the last days of the summer holidays, Phil escapes to hang out with his best friend, eating ice cream and playing dress-up. As the school year begins, a new student arrives - the handsome and mysterious Nicholas (Jannik Schümann). Smitten, Phil watches his crush as he runs around the track afterschool, and is thrilled when Nicholas returns his feelings. However, when first love's volatility comes to light, realizes he must deal with the problems of his past, in order to deal with the issues of his present. - Actors:

A poetic masterpiece!! - Centre of My World review by TB
Wow, wow, wow. I loved this film.
Fantastically filmed and put together to create a masterpiece that truly immersed you into the depths of each character and the unfolding storyline. It’s was so much more than just a coming of age film, as it was about family, childhood, love, heartbreak, anger and cleverly fitted a whole families life and tribulations into a movie that was just under two hours. The film switching back and forth from present to past allowed the film to give depth to each character and the overriding storyline with such realistic emotions.
The acting was superb and had me feeling an array of emotions while watching it. This is a must watch!!!

A film with surprising depth. - Centre of My World review by jc
The plot and characterisation in this film take it way beyond the LGBT+ genre into something far more thought provoking.
Entirely believable, well thought through and an excellent reflection of teenage dreams and aspirations struggling to come to grips with an imperfect world. I really enjoyed it.
This is the kind of three dimensional film more people should aim to make.
