Tat and Nat are two upper-middle class best friends and university students who are both gay. Nat is effeminate, out and proud while Tat is still closeted to his friends and family. Tat develops a crush on popular jock, Ake (Ek), a nice guy with an abusive father, who Tat ends up tutoring. Ake is curious and confused about his sexuality, and is starting to lose interest in his beautiful girlfriend. What results is a cute, but ultimately amateurish paint-by-numbers "gay teen film". Nat is a funny guy, and Ake is beautiful (one wonders why he becomes interested in the dorky-looking Tat....) and it's interesting to see this kind of a story handled from a non-Western filmmaker.
