Plot
Experimental musical based on a factual incident, the beating to death of a homosexual man in Toronto, 1985, by five teenagers.
Sinekatalog’s take
An experimental musical inspired by a real act of anti-gay violence in Toronto, using song and satire to dissect how such cruelty is produced. The mix of genre and gravity is bold and unsettling. A provocative short for viewers of daring queer cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
