Mr. Graham's economical style encourages multiple readings of each stop on a journey we all take sooner or later, whatever our sexual orientation.

Quite an interesting tale of an handsome young hooker (Benjamin Bonenfant) who finds himself caught up in an architectural equivalent of an Escher drawing - he can't seem to find his way out! Whilst searching, he has a series of almost surreal encounters with various characters who need a variety of forms of sexual satisfaction. The ultimate encounter, rather unexpectedly, offers him some satisfaction of his own - physical and emotional - as he comes to terms with his own frailties. It's done on a shoestring, but classily and with some style. There is some nudity, but nothing gratuitous - it's a search for self, and actually works quite well.

This is about a gay hustler who finds himself in an odd apartment building one rainy night. As he attempts to find his way out he goes from one paid encounter to the next, each time changing his persona to be what his clients expect.
