Waking Up in Vegas

One late summer afternoon, the two friends play football and go swimming in the nearby stream. As always, Aaron takes off his clothes and jumps into the stream, whilst Yael suddenly struggles to be naked. When Aaron also mentions that he finds Yael beautiful, the mood changes. Yael cannot handle the emotional openness of his best friend and rejects him. The tension continues through the rest of the afternoon and finally escalates into an argument. Back home, Yael walks past Silas's room and sees him crying in front of the mirror. Moved by his brother's emotional behaviour, Yael realises that he made a mistake rejecting Aaron and drives to his house to apologize. The two boys reconcile and manage to create a new intimacy that gives Yael the opportunity to get one step closer to himself.
