A gentle romance based on a slightly far-fetched premiss. Two young men become friends after a game of mud ball; their relationship blossoms until they go on a trip together and discover a shared tragedy in their past that tests the relationships with themselves and their families. It's a low-budget affair; decent enough performances from the two leads - Edmund Donovan and Matthew Frias - but don't expect anything…

Reviews
This was as an incredibly good movie and every actor in it did an excellent job. It was both a tragedy and a love story, but definitely worth watching, to say more than that I feel would be giving away too much of the emotional impact of the story.
