not available in the Digital Screening Room (streaming encore)
This coming-of-age story centers on two boys who were teen lovers in a small town in the rural Netherlands, where they dreamed of going on to film school. They are accepted to the film school and head off to Amsterdam, where they begin to drift apart. Ajani (Jefferson Yaw Frempong-Manson) is much more confident, outgoing, gregarious, and adventurous. Tom is an introvert, suffering the lingering effects of unsupportive parents. Bas Keizer does a star turn as Tom, viscerally conveying Tom’s inner life with every gesture and facial expression. Keizer is a good-looking guy, but it’s his embodiment of Tom’s emotions that will really win your heart. Definitely a MUST SEE.

The film is entirely in black and white, except for a couple of brief bits of wild color. There are a couple of scenes of semi-explicit sexual activity and drug use, in addition to ubiquitous cigarette smoking.
