Trey feels small. He is gay, HIV-positive and lonely in NYC. All around him are hulking, powerful men, intimidating and challenging him everywhere he looks. Throughout his day, he obsesses over how to get BIG - and his insecurities keep him trapped in a cycle of trauma and abuse.
There were some very important themes conveyed in this short film that so many cis men and transmasc men can learn from this beautifully shot and haunting film. Pressured by so many external forces like society and family, toxic masculinity leads to behaviors found in this film. It’s a crisis and an epidemic that men need to deal with, and I love how this film brought that issue further into the foreground.
