Flushed

Synopsis

Sam, a chubby adolescent boy with low self-esteem is forced to confront the greatest challenge of his life - using the grimy school toilets. Overcoming his fear, he lands in a more compromising situation after getting locked in the toilet with the cleaner - an attractive older woman. Feeling awkward and embarrassed, Sam accidently gets trapped into a steamy conversation with her, oblivious that she is actually on her mobile phone talking to her boyfriend. Confused and uncomfortable, he bolts out of the cubicle only to realise, to further embarrassment, his mistake.
