ON MY WAY: A Secret Relationship 🏆 LGBT Short Film - AWARD WINNING

- I'm here. Yes, I see that. At what time? Are you waiting for a truck? Yes. I'm sorry, but you have to go. I'm sorry. This is from my boss. He'll fire me if you stay. He will call the police. Hang on, I'll be right back. What did you do there? There is a migrant. How so? What are you up to? He's waiting. I'm going to help him. What do you say? Certainly? - Yeah, don't worry. Will you come to me later? I'm trying. Be careful. Guard. Don't you want to eat anything? I have enough to eat. No thanks. Come on, you'll freeze to death if you stay here. And your boss? It's my caravan, I do what I want. Do not worry. Welcome to my home. Sorry for the mess. I couldn't clean up. I have to close the store. I'll be right back. Make yourself at home. Here, take a seat. My name is Niels. -Dayo. Pleasant, Dayo. I will return. Goodbye my sweetie. Is everything okay with the migrant? Finished? - With the cows? Yes. Okay. I will come by. Okay. I put it in my trailer. Sorry dear. I will call you back. Was she calm? Had no problems? Yes, everything is fine. I'll be back in 3 to 4 weeks. I think she's pregnant. There you go. Greetings to your wife. - I certainly will. Everything fine? Yes thank you. What is that? Nothing. I was injured during my journey. Oh dear. You need something stronger. So... Where are you from? Nigeria. Are you going to the United Kingdom? Do you know anyone there? Just a contact person. Also from Nigeria. Where are you from? From here, Belgium. I do like to travel. Do you speak French? I can speak French, but Dutch is my mother tongue. Dutch? Belgium has two parts. One Dutch-speaking and one French-speaking. Here you are just at the language border. So, why are you here? For someone. For the man from earlier? Yes. Antoine. He's coming here. Sorry, I'll go. No, he's a doctor. He will take care of you. I'm fine, really. Do not worry. No problem. In the meantime, take a shower. Is he still there? I was just going to send you something. Come. He needs help. He is wounded. A cut, I think. And? Can you take care of him? I'm not a doctor. - You're a vet, so you can take care of him, right? Will he stay all evening? It's getting late. You have time for a quickie between a cow and your wife, but for someone who needs help... You're annoying. - I know. Thank you darling. Wait a minute, I'm going to give him some clean clothes. Where's his cut? On his upper arm. These are for you. You can keep them. Can you take off the T-shirt? Take off your T-shirt so he can take care of you. And? It doesn't look good. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Where I come from, two men can't have a relationship. They are being chased. They are thrown in a cell forever. Everything fine? Antoine? - My wife is waiting. He's not allowed to touch it for a while. Thank you. What is happening? Antoine. I'm talking to you. You had to throw that photo away. Why would he tell that? He will talk about himself. What? He must have experienced it. I don't need to hear this. Antoine. It's different here. I have to go home. Are you OK? Unsure. Yes? No. I have to cross tomorrow. Nun, nun. I can not wait. I... Hello? It will be fine. You can stay here. I met him after my arrival in Kano. How was it? Whenever I was with him I felt great. We couldn't meet up too often. We had to keep it a secret. And... ...meeting in hotels. Where I come from, it's unthinkable. It's like witchcraft, something that is not allowed. My mother started asking questions. She talked about it with my aunt. And one day the police came. Franklin had some influence. He was older than me. He has redeemed me. He also came up with the plan for my departure. I haven't heard from him since then. Apparently things are going well. What is it, sweetheart? Look at me. What is? It does not work. I can't. I'm sorry.
