Departures

One of the most sincere and poignant films of recent years, effortlessly blending sharp comic timing, emotional depth, and the autobiographical experiences of its creators. Directors Neil Ely and Lloyd Eyre‑Morgan tell the story of a young man trying to make sense of his own desires in a world of commitment-free relationships and feelings tucked neatly behind an attractive façade.

Benji becomes entangled in a toxic, magnetic relationship with Jake – a man who is mysterious, sexy, and emotionally unavailable. Their weekend trips to Amsterdam become a suspended space between love, lust, and escape, where alcohol and intimacy intertwine with the fear of truly revealing oneself.

An intimate, brutally honest, and strikingly contemporary portrait of gay coming‑of‑age, blending humour, vulnerability, and the courage to speak openly about personal experience. Be ready for departure!
