This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off.

Boys Briefs 2 is the second in series of international short films about discreet gay love affairs.

Doors Cut Down (Spain): Has been reviewed here
Chicken (Ireland): A 3 minute really short film about one boy trying to break the ice with another and touch him just to let him know he was interested in him.
Backroom (Spain): This erotic short film is about a bunch of guys hanging around a backroom having sex with whosoever walked by. They never spoke to each other except in their mind fantasizing what they want to say vs what they actually say. Started well but then didn’t have much to add.
Breakfast (Germany): Story about 2 friends. One wants something serious while the other is more than happy to continue to have hook-ups with strangers. A promising couple together who just happen to ant different things from their relationship. Strictly OK.
Touch (Canada): A dark film which shows an 8 year boy kidnapped and abused for 8 years before he gets free. As a free man, he cannot adjust to reality and longs for love. But the definition of love is totally different for this guy. He still wants to be beaten and abused and seeks to find himself back in the abusive cage he came from. He is also hopeful that one day his lover (abuser) will come back looking for him. Its a evil dark fantasy of a continuously abused teenager.
Take-Out (Canada): A young 18 year old guy quite doesn’t understand his own sexuality. He is confused. and works as a delivery boy for a BBQ joint.
