Teško se otrgnuti od stereotipa o gay populaciji, a tome uveliko doprinose i sami pederi. Često su preteško ifrustrirani odbacivanjima u društvu, a u gej zajednici lako upadnu u tračarske priče koje od njih naprave baš ono što je tipičan gej stereotip - u gomilu isfrustriranih žena koje uvjek imaju nešto da kažu.
A kada tome dodamo da nakon što osjete dobru kitu zaborave na sve oko sebe i postaju pederi u smislu najgore karakterne osobine, onda se stereotipi pretvaraju u realnost.

Nice and to the point

Even with a nugget of a plot that runs also like a well-tuned mechanism of clichés, this short strikes home. It's summer, it's camping, it's adolescence playing "Truth or Dare?" As everybody remembers the perennial dare and kiss a same-sexed (uneasy) friend is acted-out. Some insistence on the kiss attracts the expected stupid comments of adolescence starting out. But with the intervention of the superintendent more than three and in less than six minutes admit their sexuality, as summer heads back home. This little short, intended as part of a collection against homophobia, addresses mostly adolescents, and with the axis put upon the mostly effeminate image one expects from gayness, to the detriment, actually, of "virile" boys at a loss to admit their feelings. Thankfully, in this short the boy that expresses his not-so-repressed feelings, does not pass through an ugly scene of the usual bullying. This role is quasi-reserved for a girl; but instead of exemplifying any sense of misogyny, Vincent, the director, shows with a keen sense the antagonism between adolescents in just three strokes, an antagonism more fully depicted to excellent results in his sulfurous pastoral "Give me your hand".
