Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during a wave of UK shorts exploring queer youth trauma through surrealism, this predates mainstream 'Heartstopper' optimism by nearly a decade.
The wardrobe's Narnia reference isn't accidental — Gore inverts Lewis's escape-to-magic into escape-from-reality, with no return ticket.
