Saleem, an Asian student from Bradford, encounters Daz. They spend the night together. He is ashamed of himself and what he has done the following day.
Protect Me from What I Want is a beautifully judged British gay short film about desire colliding with shame, religion and family expectation. Dominic Leclerc gives the encounter between Saleem and Daz both sensuality and emotional weight, allowing a brief connection to suggest two very different forms of loneliness.
