SYNOPSIS: Tobi and Achim are best friends and champion rowers looking forward to the final regatta.  As Achim's relationship with his girlfriends grows, Tobi realizes his feelings for Achim run deeper than he's willing to admit.  And when a team of cliché-busting gay men arrives, Tobi and his teammates must grapple with their prejudices, their fears, and their hidden longings.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  This film profiles the struggles of a teen while he copes with his new found sexuality, while trying to keep it a secret from everyone.  The problem Tobi is having is that he is immensely attracted to his best friend, who has made it clear that he "would have a big problem" if a gay person were to hit on him.  Of course this confuses Tobi because he thinks Achim is sending mixed signals with their mutual masturbation sessions in the boat house.  Without giving too much away, we will say that this films starts off pretty slow but then quickly changes to make it worth watching.
