I hate how teachers always turn a blind eye to bullying and always seem to ignore the bullying until the victim does something drastic because they can't take it anymore, and at that moment the teachers are always there to protect the bully and Villainise the the victim. It's a sad world we live in.

So is no one gonna talk abt how freaking attractive "Dimitri" is Like I'm drooling for him rn😭🫶

The boy with the curly and dark hair was gorgeous like an angel 😮

Dimitri is sooo freaking pretty!!! Like wtf???!!!

Never have I ever seen a man so beautifully looking as Christos Karavevas in this short movie. Sheer perfection. This is what Greek Gods must have looked like.

In reality, bullies never change. They are who they are forever.

Enigmatic - with a young actor who perfectly captures the silent acceptance of his feeling towards the overbearing school show-off who isn't really worth his time.

Oh my God Dimitri is so handsome. His eyes are so soulful. He is freaking 10 dude ❤❤❤❤

A glimpse into a Greek high school of today was the most fascinating part of this short clip. Graffiti and 'Our Father' make a weird combination, too.

This brought back my high school years. The isolation was unbearable but it was the intense attraction to some guys that made it even worse . There were some jocks that were attracted to guys but had to be discrete and they covered up their desires by being the most vocal with the name calling and insults.

Ive seen this clip/ post before, and im STILL in awe of this kid's beauty. Stunning.

Dimitris is so beatiful and attractive

i dont see how a shy boy would fall for such a jerk

This was really freaking good. The layering in the script, filming methods, and realism in the silence makes this video top notch. Everyone who worked on this did amazing

Not to be shallow but, his hair is AMAZING!

Great film. To me, this story is about a boy with low self esteem who falls in love with his oppressor. And that emotional dependence on the abuser, which he can't control since he's unable to comprehend it, fills him with self-doubt, anger, guilt, and resentment. You can only hope he (and guys like him) finds his way out of that painful codependency.

The last scene on the basketball court is telling. His friends are willing to drop Vassilis as "the coolest kid" in an instant, once he physically isn't cool any more because of his injury. This shocks him, but is not completely unrealistic, seeing as his connection to his "friends" is not based on friendship. He is the current fad. He is forced to resort to humiliating the little boy, who's the only one available for his purpose. He doesn't explain the real cause of his injury because that would mean admitting he was bested by the guy who, among his friends, is the lowest of the low, the weakest of the weak, a homosexual. All the adults here are awful, including Dimitris' mother. I can hear her saying, "Oh, he's going through a phase." Perhaps all teenagers do go through "a phase." But until you find out what is causing "the phase," there is no way to know if it is a serious problem or not. I hate how adults use that excuse for not doing the hard work of finding out what is going on in their child's mind. She's worried about orange juice. The Vice Principal, or whoever she is, knows there is something wrong, but the best she can manage is "Do you want to tell me something?" and doesn't follow it up even after the long pause before Dimitris' response, indicating that there is indeed a "something." Too much trouble for her too. By the way, if this is not a parochial school, and this is the way things are still done today, how 'bout chucking the prayer altogether, Greek authorities, though it is an excellent device to unify the film.

Eventually they'd hook up in the bathroom, but the bully will never never never do anything to show his feelings outside of the bathroom stall.

My experience: Adults always were telling me that bullying was MY fault and say "Stop acting like a sissy." I'm now gay and proud and say it out loud 👎🌈

Is the boy with the green shirt the popular one?? I mean u kidding me rite???

Am I the only one who noticed that the 'bully' liked him too and was doing some of that to get his attention? He just didn't know how to express it. Hence the over the top actions.

this was so good is there really no part 2 to this? i would dead ass pay for yall to make a part 2 to this

Wow, Dimitri is such a shy, handsome & breathtaking. Seems like he is attracted to another guy with a light green shirt Vassili😛😛.Yet, during class, Vassili threw an object to a fellow girl student & then showed the "I ♥♥you" sign. Then he got sent to the principal's office for disciplinary action. Then his parents were pounding & cursing at him. So, me & my cat enjoyed watching this episode & it always keeps my cat's ears up like an owl 🦉LOL Awesome! 😛😛😸😸👍👍✌✌🌈🌈

Very good and the facial expression of "Dimitri" impressive.

Dimitri is beautiful...OMG... what does he see in the other guy... I don't get it.

I have never thought about Greek schools before! That´s interesting and pretty different from my country. Dimitri is so attractive though! I could he not love him?

I hate bullies. I really do...

As an English teacher in the Philippines public secondary school, I find some students behavior similar to some extent but the vandalism must be minimized inside the classroom.

This movie was extremly well made. Every feeling was so deep and well written. The characters were multidimensional and believable. And I am disgusted. Disgusted by the school, who allows such bullying. Not only allowing, but nurturing it, with this army like approach and indoctrination with religion. Disgusting. And extremly well depicted.

The bully is a coward. Without his friends, he is a total wimp.

Wow Dimitri is gorgeous 🔥

Dimitri is freaking cute and handsome like a sclpture

There's more to this story than what we're being shown. This is just a snapshot from a bigger story we don't get to see. Everyone has their theories, but it's just from looking at a clip, not the whole picture. The bully never really bullies the shy boy directly and covers for him when he gets pushed down the stairs. Did they have a history we don't know about? Is bully a bully because he's hiding his gay? His home life is obviously rough. I want the full story

This literally looked like a documentary, the acting, the atmosphere and everything was far too real. No kid should be required to go to school if theyre going to be bullied.

That prayer in the square scene was top tier.

The curly haired guy is so pretty, like wtf?!

sis will soon come to a conclusion "wtf was I thinking?", my man is literally all the definitions of a walking-talking red flag.

i have no idea what this means but it was a good film for my cereal 😭😭

Actually the one like Dmitry would be the more attractive one in my country 😂

Vassilis is everything that shy Dmitri is not... athletic, outgoing, popular and cocky. That's prob much of the allure. But mostly, I think, Dmitri is physically attracted to him, in spite of the fact that he acts like a jerk. It happens in life all the time. And Vassilis is clearly basking in Dmitri's desire... he even purposely shows off his bare torso to him. Probably attracted to the beautiful but shy boy, but must appear oh so macho among his friends to ever reveal it. The subtleties expressed here are complex and terrific.

This was very well directed and the acting done well, and yet most will not really see so much of the story here. This is not what is marketed in most the commercially sold populist hero stories produced in these times. It makes me think a lot. Teenaged empaths as boys face specific challenges. Especially those who are level six. Ironic they are often mistaken as lacking male qualities. But they do not make an easy story for the Writer for all the interesting qualities they posess. Not in Western civlization.

This is a good short film - there’s a complete story from beginning to end. Some comments didn’t like the end but I thought it was just right: Dimitri and Vassili stare at each other and 1) Vassili knows that Dimitri had the guts to push him & 2) they know that they are attracted to each other but won’t do anything about it. The bully is often the insecure one (just watch the way he walks when his parents come to the school & his father hits him on the head). It’s a believable story. Technically there were issues with uneven lighting, and some very long shots needed to be shorter. And lastly, none of those guys can play basketball at all. They can’t even dribble. They were so bad that it was a distraction. Otherwise, this short film works well.

Dimitri is exqusitely beautiful. A soulful, haunting beauty.

He was attracted to that, no way, I think it was loathing.

This was very good. I like that it is subtle and doesn't tell you too much, but lets you figure it out.

If they would have ended up linking in the locker room, this would have been great. But nothing happened except the loser kept on being a bully, not learning his lesson..and beautiful shy boy didnt get laid

imagine if teachers actually did their job

Damnn Dimitri was very cute wen he packed his hair

Vassilis plays around a lot but is definitely not the usual awful MEAN High School bully; he's mostly just a show-off popular kid entertaining his friends...also notice too, he NEVER actually *bullies* Dimitri...almost never even speaks to him. Seems to me Vassilis is more confused, fascinated, puzzled--about his feelings--for this beautiful solemn boy who is always staring at him. Vasssilis finds himself returning those stares.... perhaps gradually discovering his own *difference* .. He is aware that the moody dark-haired Dimitri likes him *that* way...but has no idea how to respond or what to do about it (yet). So, when the frustrated dark-haired boy desperate for his attention deliberately trips him on the stairs, Vassilis protects Dimitri and says nothing . He did not want adults, or his friends and followers further tormenting Dimitry. 🔥❌❤ What happens next are a set of open possibilities outside this movie. But I want to think that they become friends and find a way to work out their relationship to each other while they also discover the truth about their developing personal identities.💥🔥

I was in this situation in high school this queers bullying is very popular in so many schools in Africa 😢😢😢 woiye poor Dimitris

Dimitri certainly is a Beautiful Young Man.

That young man has the most beautiful facial structure I have ever seen

I love this it such masterpiece 😊

why are these films always tragicly filled with hearttbreak and conflict....

That is one of the most beautiful human faces I have ever seen. He's a good actor too. So this is a religious school but is also a complete dump covered in grafiti, with hostile teachers (TWO of them) and discipline problems everywhere? I find it implausible that Dimitri would be hot for the "popular" guy. He is so completely an asshole with zero redeeming qualities. I guess Dimitri could have a masochistic streak which would explain things. Despite its flaws, it's a well-made film and the acting is good.

I don't see he fell for the bully. Btw Dimitri's visuals are no joke damn 😭🖐

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!❤

he is not in love .. he hates bully boys and avenges himself

Incredible!

The boy lived in pain...i can testify about such pain😢

Excellent movie! Very well made!

Lol the popular one looks like a sheep 😂 and the other like a god

Dimitri is a frakken doll and half!? Soo is this typical Greek? painfully scarring with no stated change or with an ambiguous resolute? Charming. I need a little fantasy, cuz this is just reality,...

Please take part 2 beautiful theme ❤

Επιτέλους μπορώ να δω μια ωραία ταινία μικρού μήκους χωρίς να χρειάζομαι υπότιτλους

I guess I just didn't get it. The beautiful and bullied introvert moons over one of the bullies who make his life miserable. The teachers and principal pretend not to know what's going on. The bullied boy responds with violence and gets away with it. No one learns anything. No one's issues are resolved. Life goes on as usual. Okay, so maybe it's realistic, but we already knew that.

He just reminds me of prince the lips hair and skin he just looks a little younger

BRO, DIMITRI IS GORGEOUS

The set of people I detest most are bullies....I hate them bcuz they derives joy in making weak people their major source of fun...... bullies can make weak people commit suicide when they can't take it anymore,nd I also don't like teachers that overlook it like bullying is not a biggie.

Interesting, well done. Not a predictable storyline.

Sorry but th3 bully was looking like you push me and the one who was getting bully said yea I pushed yo ass down the stairs 😂😂❤❤

being a greek lesbian and understanding the words and story is such a flex ngl

I am not gay but still I am falling for Dimitri, wtf is wrong with me😨

Who supposedly fell in love? The central character seem just angry. The whole description is SO misleading. This movie has no point. The bully stayed a bully, even after the parents meeting and the "incident". Looks to me like Dimitri is about to go the _Dexter_ route.

"THAT Popular BOY SHOULD FALL FOR DIMITRI" 😮‍💨

School officials was treating students like a prisoner. I can’t believe it.

Prayer in school is fine for those that want it , but it's TOTALLY unfair to FORCE it on others using grades as a way to do it ..just disgusting 😡. But let's just IGNORE all the bullying happening around you 😒😡smh

People failed to notice that bully hold the sign " I L U " to guy but he turn around and didn't see it or was it to the girl next him.? The girl didn't turn at all!!!!!

The boy is gorgeous

Muito bom!

Very much a Greek version of Jean Cocteau stories of soulful gay boys attracted to handsome hunks who are totally oblivious. That is the difference here : the jock hunk is targeting weaker or perceived gay guys to bully. But Dmitri finally turns the tables and sends him down the stairs and eventually crutches.

wonderful....

Muy interesante . Mayormente no se ve el tema de Bullying en la series BL de Asia . Pero veo que en los Film de Occidente si lo analizan esos temas

this story reminds me last year when i fell for my best friend but he was a straight one

yeah I have always been falling in love like this

Forcing kids to lead or say prayers in school is child abuse.

The dark headed kid is a beautiful boy

An interesting film. I felt sympathy for all the characters, but I can't say in the end that I actually liked any of them.

so no ones going to say about the psycho little kid Dimitri shoving someone down the stairs how crazy

I hope to god this is a first year film school submission

in other words See he does it to every body. it was just your turn that time . nothing personal . he didn't mean it to hurt you .

Sir where's my coffe- WHAT THE HECK DID JUST I WATCHED?!

The hairstyles of some of those guys r freakin' weird

can't imagine i wasted my time watching this... argghhh wanted some chemistry on both ends, irregadless dimitrii is cute.

Love is a trip

I wonder if Vassili swings both ways with a name like that. Dimitri is the typical 'ugly duckling' in Hollywood, who magically blossoms into a swan by letting her hair down and taking her glasses off. 😁

el chico mas lindo del mundo, d e pelo largo y ojos dulces

I didn't see anyone fall in love there's no story, but about a bully.

Young Dimitri has eyelashes that rival Taylor Zakhar Perez!

Awsome thoughts I will check out the witch
