    One man HAD to leave everything or face imprisonment, and the other in a prison of secrecy and deceit. Even where openess is not punishable, it still take a lot of bravery to be who you are. This was a great piece of work.

    How moving film. The solidarity Niels shares with a complete stranger, simply touching. If I may quote an American philosopher, Richard Rorty: "Solidarity is something that does not come with us, humans, it develops, it creates..." and Niels exemplifies so perfectly this with Dayo. A simply moving and brilliant movie.

    What’s so sad and fucked up about this story is it’s so common. Religious & social stigma has so vilified something so natural as love that innocent people wind up getting hurt & sometimes ending their lives unable to live their truth. I love that the young man in this story didn’t dwell and go through the, “Why Me’s” and just saw the end and moved on. Great film

    Great story. Niels such a compassionate individual. Very giving and heartfelt with how he helped a total stranger (Dayo) fleeing his own turmoil. In the end Niels must've known the risks of having an affair with a married man. I applaud how he absorbed it (obviously very painfully) at its conclusion. Fantastic short!

Niels is an incredibly handsome man. I loved that he easily switched between Dutch, French, and English. I want to see more of Niels. The actor's name is Tijmen Govaerts.

    A few years ago at Brighton Pride they played a video on the big screens. It was "Someday" (there's a place for us) with visuals telling us how far the UK had come with equality and how many countries around the world still persecuted LGBTQ+ people. Rather than focusing on campaigning to get worldwide equality we have gone to the extremes of accepting people can be cats, it's OK to stop a child going through puberty and how I'm now likely to cancelled for not referring to someone as Ze/Zie and Zir!
    Anyway, rant over. Loved this short, I just wish it wasn't an accurate reflection of what people are experiencing in real life.
