Boy Undone

2017 · 116 min

An intimate, disorienting drift through uncertain memory, quietly unsettling and tender as two strangers piece together a fragile truth.

Overview
Two young men spend the night together after meeting the previous evening in a notorious gay club. The next day, however, the host wakes to find the boy he picked up bewildered and confused, unable remember his name or anything about his past. Lacking any type of identification or obvious clues, the boys begin to search for the truth among fragments of memories that may or may not prove reliable.
