Synopsis:
Adam and Mary, two gay siblings, decide to bring their partners home for Christmas dinner. They really don’t want to come out though, so they come up with a plan; they’ll swap partners and pretend to be two straight couples. After a tragic first encounter with Grandma, who has a lot of opinions about children out of wedlock, foreigners and – bread, Steve can’t take it anymore and threatens to leave. Adam has his way of persuading him, but that may involve the two of them, a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and a very high chance of Grandma walking in.
Quick Thoughts:
With all of my searching each year for new queer holiday short films, I must confess that I missed one! However I can be forgiven a little bit because “Adam and Steve” premiered in May of 2019 as a final project for Film BA (Hons) students at Roehampton University. And it is yet another queer Christmas film that I discovered on YouTube! And what a cute queer short it is! I absolutely love the premise of queer siblings trying to hide their respective partners by swapping – and we cannot ignore the cute pun of “hiding in the closet!” Unfortunately there were a two things that distracted me a bit. So why wasn’t this a perfect queer Christmas short film? Read on to find out!
