Nightlife 2013

Directed by Harune Massey

A short film that provides a highly nuanced glimpse into the life of male sex workers of Lahore, Pakistan, who often ply their trade as teenage masseurs clinking their oil bottles on the discreet but known-to-the-customer street corners waiting to be picked up by passing motorists. The film unfolds by examining the relationship shared by its title characters, two boys who are each other's partners, lovers and co-protectors.
