The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

almost a documentary about the confusion of an age, it has two great virtues - Ben Whishaw and the right manner to use a delicate theme. story of a wake up, it is a cocktail of images, sounds, impressions and suggestions. an exploration of himself, around a swimming pool , who has as axis sexuality but , more important, the right understanding of reality. for many ex-teenagers, the film is real interesting not exactly as slice of memory but as trip in the air of a period who remains basis for assume adulthood. for other, under Peter Pan syndrome, the film preserves the feelings of first step to discover yourself blocked in time. Ben Whishaw , from the Perfume, is the most inspired choice for translate the fight against yourself for conquer the truth. the sensibility and the fascinating manner to give the force of the small details are bricks of this beautiful film.

Beautifully shot, this short film is set in flashback: Our main character Joe is a pretty youth in his late teens who is lying on his bed in his boxers pleasuring himself. The film constantly cuts back to his day out at the swimming pool whose images and sounds provide the stimulus for his bedroom activity. The production is superb in every way, attention to each shot is evident and even the sounds of the echoing pool and glug of the water are brilliantly recorded. It's also a study of confused or ambiguous teenage sexuality: Joe is turned on alternately by his memory of a fit young male springboard diver, a young lady swimmer, guys showering off and the armpit of an Asian female newsagent!

A teenage boy finds all around him has sexual overtones as he lives a teenage life of drugs and masturbation.Not quite sure what the point was here. Is this based on the directors experiences? If so then why didn't it have more detail or direction to it. Instead we have a 10 minute w**k. The main character lies on his bed taking hits from his bong and thinking over things such as men and women's bodies at the pool etc while he…..well…..gets off.And that's it! Some parts seem to hint at deeper meaning but none deliver it. The only clever bit is the title sequence that focus on a stomach making us think this is about a real baby only to pull down to the boy's underwear. However after this it's just the dull fantasies of a teenage boy.The lead is good but he doesn't have much to do. Overall this is interesting but it never gets deeper than that. If you want to see everyday things come into a boy's sexual fantasizes then it's worth a watch.

Wheeew! Well this is a film that takes you inside the head of a 15 year old (ish - it's my guess) boy, so yes it is pretty obsessed with sex. I caught it late on channel four last night and wished I'd managed to record it because you just know you aren't going to see anything as unusual, as hypnotic, as suggestive, as intriguing and as enticing for a while. And it's a real treat to get a short to revel in. Somehow, because your attention span is not stretched in the same way, you can just let images and sounds wash over you without worrying about plot or character too much. This basically follows a boy's day at the local swimming pool, as he recalls it later lying in bed doing the obvious things boys lying in bed do (smoking pot and w***ing if you must know). But it's beautifully done, witty, suggestive and sensual. As the director himself said, "It's not about being gay or straight, it's about the pleasures of the flesh." It certainly is.
