The film is the coming-of-age story of the child in the opening sequence, now a chicken delivery boy (although he hates chicken).

Alienated from his father, and with an uneasy relationship with his (not gay-friendly) best friend, he meets a new customer.

A lawyer going through a divorce, the customer is also alienated and lonely.

Jutra Awards 2001

  • Best Short Film (Meilleur Court Métrage)

If you've rented the shorts compilation Boys Briefs 2, this is the best of the 6 films. Gianpaolo Venuta was outstanding....

Great to see an intelligent gay-themed movie NOT all about sex. Wish there were more LGBT films like this.

The opening sequence alone would make an outstanding short film in its own right. Time speeds up and slows down as we see the customers at a diner, especially the family at one table.
