Strapped
  • Overview

    A routine trick propels a tall, dark, cynical hustler into a series of life-changing encounters in this drama. But this amicable and sexually efficient rent boy begins to look at himself differently when he finds himself lost in a maze-like apartment building. As he wanders through the building, he tricks with a variety of johns; sex is the commonality, but out of that commodity comes raw, unguarded emotions for all.

Quite an interesting tale of an handsome young hooker (Benjamin Bonenfant) who finds himself caught up in an architectural equivalent of an Escher drawing - he can't seem to find his way out! Whilst searching, he has a series of almost surreal encounters with various characters who need a variety of forms of sexual satisfaction. The ultimate encounter, rather unexpectedly, offers him some satisfaction of his own - physical and emotional - as he comes to terms with his own frailties. It's done on a shoestring, but classily and with some style. There is some nudity, but nothing gratuitous - it's a search for self, and actually works quite well.
