Shelter (2007)

Charged with the electric crackle of first love, this sweet and sexy California romance is about a confused young artist torn between his family and his future. Fresh out of high school, Zach (Trevor Wright) gives up a full scholarship to spare his 5-year-old nephew from their dysfunctional family. Now restless and isolated, the gifted youth toils at a local diner.

But everything changes when he finds himself drawn to thirtysomething Shaun (Brad Rowe), a confident young writer. As the two hit the surf and Shaun's mattress with equal enthusiasm, they fall into a secret relationship that may give Zach the courage he needs to follow his passions.

Shelter is that rarest of things -- a gay themed movie that doesn't end in tragedy. While it shows us that life can indeed be tough, it also gives us hope. It's beautifully shot, and of course, the eye candy is superb.

Need I say more?

I'm usually a bugger for giving spoilers, but this time I'm not going to. All I need to say is that nobody's on drugs. There's not a rent boy or a gun in sight. Nobody's beaten to within an inch of their life. This is simply a superb, sweet love story. And Zach and Sean make a gorgeous couple. Don't you agree?
