Bloated (2026)
Billy, a queer college student and hopeless romantic, gets swept into what seems like a romantic connection with a kind man. From a light and cheesy beginning, Billy gradually confronts the pain of unreciprocated feelings and blurred boundaries. In the end, he learns that love does not have to come from romance to be real — and that, for now, choosing himself is enough.
