What Boys Know: International Shorts

Sunday, October 17, 4:45pm

A boy for hire, an online hookup, hot sex, missing money—these international boys know what they want. In THE LAST NIGHT, a French-Canadian couple bring a gay hustler into their bedroom to spice up their fading love life–and discover more in common with the sexy stranger than they expect. Gorgeously photographed RISVEGLIO follows a young Italian man from a destined-to-fail Internet encounter and into the arms of a new Dutch treat. A hot sexual rendezvous, some missing money–more sex, more missing money…with these LOVERS, where will it end? And an Australian teenager learns WHAT GROWN-UPS KNOW the hard way (literally) when he and his on-the-lam mother vie for the attentions of a married trailer-park manager. These intriguing and diverse short films from abroad tell sexy stories that could have taken place in your own back yard.
