I didn't realize the first time I saw this that the Admiral Duncan was one of the places bombed by a pissed off young man. Makes this film even more relatable than when I first watched it. ❤ Thanks again for putting it together.
The father was portrayed so emotionally well. Steve & Alex were basically a newly formed couple. Alex was having a difficult time with Steve's illness. Steve appeared to simply need another loving soul to comfort him. Had Steve & Alex had time & chances to grow together more then both of them could've become so very happy & satisfied. My beloved partner & me were together long enough to become like a single machine with 2 drivers automatically steering in the same direction. When he suddenly was taken into Eternity back in 2016 the world appeared to be such a strange place. My heart still holds onto him & everything else. I live life & I'm OK but never really the best me that I use to be. I try to stay lost in being creative & working on old furniture & flea markets & thrifting. If I was younger I'd try again for another good relationship. I wish all the fellows the best lives possible...give yourself chances...something wonderful can be waiting...I promise. ...Thank you Central Film School for your nicely done dramatic production.
I watched the love of my life slowly die a little each day and suddenly I was alone, after 25yrsof love and life. I am so alone and can't seem to get back to being the man to I was. All I can do is wait for the day I see him on the other side of the rainbow 🌈 bridge.
@@bryanpearl8122 Good God I know how you feel. Seems we both got blessed...many guys never find anything good. We can't be the same. Sometimes I don't know what to do. I hate being alone. I'll never have what I once did. Yes, they're waiting for us.
@@curtischildress9580 and Bryan Pearl, I am in the same boat. It's been 10 years since my partner died... at home, the way we wanted it, with our dog. The dog is gone too. It is so strange, to have everything be the same, but nothing is right. To be so alone. I have tried to restart and keep living "my life", but it is all nothing and empty. I don't know why it has to be this way.
@@lawrencebaker2318 I understand the kind of loneliness you mention. Somehow we keep going. I do. I'm not the same kind of happy that I used to be. I can get with a couple of friends & laugh & have a meal or go someplace we enjoy. We talk & share but their lives seem to be more complete than mine. I come home & the world is empty. I've slowed down my hiking & biking this summer...my motivation level is lower this summer. I write creatively doing some poetry which I've always done. I watch UA-cam videos/channels whenever I eat. I sleep well enough & am use to being alone...I miss the comfort of him laying with me but that's never coming back. We don't get to plan how life works for us & we get blessed whenever we get something good. I'm glad you answered. I can tell you're real & have feelings & you're doing your best to cope & keep going. Sometimes I ask myself what do I want now? I've done this for a few years. I get afraid sometimes of wanting anything other than what I have right now. I have a fear of trying to change my world in a big way. Thanks for letting me share with you for a while. I hope you have the best day possible.
@@curtischildress9580 Thank you, Curtis, for your reply and for sharing with me. We are not alone. There are far too many of us, in fact, unfortunately. Loneliness, isolation and fear really do hold us back. But we keep trying, some days it works better than others. Another day always comes, whether we want it to or not... so, let's give it a go, again!
Every facet of this film is exceptional. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. It is important to value and treasure those who are important to us everyday. Thank you for creating this film. It has much depth.
I'm sorry to comment this way, but I must. I am a hospice chaplain. The disappointment I have in seeing the total lack of explanation by the hospice nurse or anyone else about the dying process is appalling. The lack of explaining to the boyfriend the importance of soft voices and a peaceful environment as Steve passed from this life is very disturbing. It is an honor, a privilege, and a blessing to be with that beautiful person and family as they slip away to return from whence we originated.
I couldn't agree more, I don't know of any hospice that would have such cold, uncaring staff. The other colleagues would soon pick up on this behaviour (hopefully) & root out problem staff. I still say though that the complete opposite is the case. The love, care and attention people get whilst in a hospice is incredibly humbling, it comes naturally and from the heart. I think that people who work in these situations are blessed and wonderful. I found this film incredibly moving, the acting was good and his father was beautifully portrayed. Thank you so much for a very moving & beautiful story.
I have long enjoyed watching the pieces film students are producing for graduation and havde commented on the outstanding ones. Zuheir did an excellent job with this film. It's just a shame, based on the the comments, that viewers aren't noticing that there's a story that is being told with all the separate episodes broken down and woven together to present an aspect of all of us we seem to fail to notice. No one noted that what Steve was trying to say to Alex was "Why didn't you come/cum?" which can be understood in two ways. That probably after their argument Alex had left Steve for a while. Or that Alex didn't cum when Steve got down on him (16:00). Probably both. Parallel to that it can be deduced that the father had little contact with Steve after he left home at 16 with the death of a mother that was fully understanding and protecting. That the father knew nothing of and never met Alex also seems to indicate that he was until recently not having contact with his son. Steve probably called him during the time that Alex had abandoned him. The beginning of the film seems to indicate there was a time like that. The truth is that most of us weave in and out of one another's lives, and aren't able, for various reasons, to maintain a steady presence which is what is most important for people like Steve.We have clever lines to say when the "Steve" in our lives is unable to speak, but we are clumsy and cold at it like the hospice worker when things require more engagement.
I loved the Alex character. I so relate to him as knowing the end is rapidly approaching but in denial. I am sure Steve knew he was there.

Tomorrow is ANOTHER blessing from the creative force of the Universe
Very nice movie. Thank you for the cool actors they were handsome.
Nicely done. Felt the emotion. Father's devotion and tenderness shone through.
Best film ever

Thank you for the wonder of your help during the most difficult of times.My mother's hospice nurse kept our entire family together!

So lovely and emotional
Well done......Thanks
Awesome! :)
Can't understand why the hospice carer would be so unfriendly
🖤🖤🖤
Very well done 👍
Mine's the twenty seventh of september
Best
😍
What is Steve’s problem
Any one say
cancer first minute he stare about the chemo.
😔
As realistic as it gets …..
Regrets coming too late …..
He was so mean to Steve when he knew he was dying. I didn't like him much
Sad
A terribly depressing film, I dislike it! 👎👎👎🤨
