On Halloween night in Dublin, rugby player Jace meets aspiring filmmaker Charlie at a college party. They both attend Trinity but come from different worlds. Charlie is trans and involved in the arts, while Jace mostly hangs out with other straight guys from his team or business course. Despite their differences, they strike up a connection. After the party is abruptly broken up by the Guards, they continue getting to know each other while wandering around nighttime Dublin, reminiscing and sharing their dreams and concerns for life after college. When a startling connection from their shared past is revealed, Jace is forced to reckon with long-buried actions, and the social identity he’s taken for granted.
Directed by Donncha Gilmore

normal people for queer people…
on a serious note, I really love how the film talks about masculinity and how it frames it as a performance. how boys are taught to occupy space, to mute softness, to laugh things off before anyone can clock them.

and i genuinely appreciate how the character’s transness isn’t written as a shocking twist. It’s not a “gotcha” for the audience.

there is something very tender about this film that I can’t quite pinpoint yet. it feels sincere. a little rough around the edges… yes. it feels like a debut film fresh out of film school… but the heart is completely in the right place.
