OH BOYS (2026)
OH BOYS (2026)
Overview
Oh Boys is a 17-minute Italian short film set in a coastal village where male competition runs the local culture. Musicians duel for applause, a ping-pong player battles for pride, and a tourist stumbles through clumsy courtship. A young saxophonist quietly breaks from all of it. The label lands at Leans Progressive because the film frames masculine rivalry as something to step away from rather than celebrate. It does not preach. It simply follows someone who opts out. No religion, no family conflict, and no identity politics factor in. The signal is modest given the short runtime, but the direction is clear enough.
Starring Cast
Meg Bellamy • Tom Byrne • Antonio De Rosa
