Sunflower
Friday, Apr 26, 2024 at 5:00 PM - English
Seventeen-year-old Leo has his life together in the high school hierarchy: drunken parties, decent grades, the popular girlfriend; and comes home to the loving bickering only a family can provide. But Leo experiences an identity crisis as he becomes increasingly attracted to his best friend, Boof. His well-groomed facade begins to crack and with every step Leo takes towards embracing his sexuality. This includes overcoming the incessant socialized homophobia of the boy’s locker room. Hopeful and romantic, this is an enticing drama about growing up with your heart stuck in your mouth. With tender performances, Sunflower is a classic queer coming of age film elevated by a heartfelt authenticity from debut filmmaker Gabriel Carrubba.
