Loved-up “Tom” (Bas Keizer) and “Ajani” (Jefferson Yaw Frempong-Manson) live in a small Dutch community where the latter man has just come out and where the former, bisexual, has thus far kept his powder dry. Both are keen film students and hope to get to Amsterdam where they can enjoy a new life together but almost immediately they arrive, they hook up with the outgoing “Fer” (Fjodor Jozefsoon) who is an old friend and who introduces both to the nightlife and a broader gay community that one lad takes to enthusiastically whilst the other, innately less gregarious, struggles. It’s fairly clear that from now on their rural, only gay in the village, love and loyalty is going to be severely tested since opportunity, choice and mischief are on their doorstep. To add to the woes, “Tom” is discovering that his rather testy attitude to his college colleagues isn’t making him any friends there either, and after a filming trip to Berlin which he unexpectedly makes on his own, it becomes apparent that perhaps his dream isn’t going to come true. For the most part, this is a competent coming of age drama about a couple who arrive in a city glued together but whose coupledom is ill-prepared for temptation. Sadly, for me though, the last twenty minutes rather throttled any enthusiasm I had for this as stereotypes galore are reinforced, the transient nature of gay “commitment” is laid unpleasantly bare and the characterisation of “Ajani” became something that frankly turned my stomach. From a character perspective, it’s all a rather shallow exercise that clearly had an end point in mind that the story seemed contrived to hit regardless of the collateral damage to the original ones we see at the start, and though it does make some salient points about hierarchical vanity amongst gay communities, those are subsumed by a sort of concluding moral turpitude that didn’t work for me. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood, but this didn’t really work for me, sorry.
