We Need to Talk

It’s the sweaty palms, the nervous laughter, the uncomfortable silence, the gulp: those moments when a hard truth needs to be disclosed, and can’t be avoided any longer. These moments — risky, private, erotic, intense — are at the crux of five marvelous short dramas about male intimacy that challenge the stereotype that guys just don’t — or won’t —  talk.
