Boxers or Briefs

Freya and Dan have been best friends for years, the kind of friends who have seen each other through breakups, bad decisions and the occasional triumph. Stuck at a laundromat while their clothes tumble dry, they have nothing to do but talk, and the conversation quickly drifts from banter and gossip to the relationships that have shaped them, past and present. Céline Ribard's nine-minute British comedy-drama stars Erin Elkin and Matthew Jordan as the two queer friends, using the enforced idleness of the spin cycle to unpack what each of them really wants and how honestly they are willing to say it. Warm, chatty and observant, the short finds drama in small confessions and the comfort of a friendship that can survive any amount of teasing.
