Franky Winter (Josh Wiggins) and Ballas Kohl (Darren Mann) have been best friends since childhood. They are high school royalty: handsome, stars of the swim team and popular with girls. They live a perfect teenage life – until the night of Franky’s epic 17th birthday party, when Franky and Ballas are involved in an unexpected incident that changes their lives forever.
Giant Little Ones is a heartfelt and intimate coming-of-age story about friendship, self-discovery and the power of love without labels.
The casting and acting is amazing, but a special shout out to Kyle MacLachlan (“Twin Peaks”), whose role is subdued and yet very powerful!
We tend to label people based on their sexuality, and those labels (until recently) have been black and white. “Giant Little Ones” opens your mind and thoughts about sexuality, and about getting rid of labels.
