Project Detail

He Loves Me

Synopsis

What happens when two gay men in a disintegrating relationship leave the city to spend some time alone, together in nature? Is it possible for nature to reveal the truth, their true essence and help them change? Can these two wounded men; traumatised, hurt, lost and desperate on a remote beach find a way back to innocence? Is there a way back to back to love?
Their relationship was formed against fear and loneliness. They fell in love, but they can’t handle love. They’ve both made mistakes, poisoning their relationship through secrets and lies. They suffer when together, but they can’t be apart.
During their time on the beach they gradually expose their feelings and release their emotions. They rediscover their love for each other and more importantly, for themselves. By allowing some time to decompress, and with a newly acquired affection for the beautiful world that surrounds them, they come to understand that they do love each other. Living within nature makes everything seem clear. Can they go back into the world with the hope that things will change?
Are they both ready for the next step?
