Big Boys
A film by Corey Sherman
United States, 2023, 88’
o.v. with italian subtitles
A gentle and tender coming-of-age story about discovering one’s body and sexuality. During a camping vacation, shy and insecure 14-year-old Jaime establishes a deep complicity with Dan, the boyfriend of his beloved cousin, who is confident and comfortable with his heavy body. Dan inspires in the teenager a feeling of appreciation that turns into love and desire. In this way Jaime will begin to become aware of his own identity.
