Drama | 2000 | Canada | 17:00 | colour

Alone in his college dorm room, a young man struggles
with his family’s reaction when he is pressured into
coming out to them over the telephone.
Damian sinks into desperation as he realizes
that both he and his family have an arduous journey
ahead if they are to heal old wounds and
come to terms with his dawning sexuality.
