The past is there, you can see it later, you can't erase it. What kind of gay or porn is here?

The film does not blindly fix the focus on the subject of child sexual assault, but extends it to see how the heavy past affects a person's direction. It does not involve extroverted revenge, but tries to explore how to heal the inner wounds and how to deal with oneself. The two teenagers returned to the scene of the incident ten years later, warmed each other with hugs, looked straight at the past, and reached a reconciliation. Even if the road is obstructive and long.

Brian: [narration voice-over] The summer I was 8 years old, five hours disappeared from my life. Five hours. Lost. Gone without a trace.
Brian: [narration voice-over] Last thing I remember I was sitting on the bench at my Little League game. It started to rain. What happened after that remains a pitch black void.

Neil: [narration voice-over] And as we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. But that was a lie, plus, I couldn't speak anyway. I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and trying to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what had happened. And I thought of all the grief and sadness and fucked up suffering in the world, and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear.
