Hornbeam is an intimate British gay short film about two strangers whose late-night connection gradually reveals more complicated personal histories. Mark Pluck keeps the film largely focused on conversation and shifting emotional distance, giving the two-hander a restrained, natural quality. The revelations arrive quietly, allowing vulnerability rather than melodrama to carry the relationship.
