Having been through this, similarly, Director Kreuzpainter puts up a mirror on the "coming out" stories vein and unfolds how one person gets a backbone, and becomes a man. Thankfully society has grown up to embrace the emerging young gay man or young lesbian woman. "Summer Storm" is a superb film and not just anot ... " [More]
