For Dorian is a compassionate gay short film about a father struggling to accept that his son with Down syndrome is becoming an independent adult with his own sexuality. Rodrigo Barriuso challenges the assumption that disabled people are somehow asexual, while keeping the relationship between father and son emotionally central. A few choices feel overly protective, but the film remains thoughtful and genuinely affecting.
