About This Movie

Fags is a poignant exploration of love and resilience, captured on a warm starry night where the atmosphere feels electric with possibility. Isaac and Arlo, the central couple, are faced with a harsh slur from a stranger, but instead of retreating, they stand firm together, hand in hand. The film's pacing allows the emotional weight of the moment to sink in, leading to a transformative climax through Isaac's heartfelt poem. It's raw, there’s a certain authenticity in the performances that really pulls you in.
