Despite its length, this one shot captures the drama of very flawed people -- which I find refreshing. A homophobic partner with a person needing also reciprocity. I feel sad for the other man, who become entangled with this couple's dysfunctional dynamic. I'm not a fan of the learning to love it only you lose it trope, but it does end satisfyingly. With a lot of loose ends, messy still, as is life.
