Schermerhoorn

1967 · 17 min

A quiet, tender short that drifts through adolescent confusion with a soft, uneasy intimacy.

How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, tense and warm. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, coming-of-age, sexuality, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
