The short film genre is actually a really popular one for gay-themed short films. Usually, these are about first love, a crush on a heterosexual and just sexual confusion in general. This one here is something else. Actually the two protagonists' relationship is about to end. Both work as bomb technicians and the title is obviously a reference about their profession. Sadly, one of the two does not want to accept the break-up and is at least as much of a psychopath as the guys whose bombs they are helping to stop from exploding. The one problem I had with this short film was that Markus Knüfken (a pretty known actor in Germany) does not have 1% homosexuality about his behavior, physical appearance or voice. This made it really difficult to completely understand and appreciate the story in here. But then again, the story is not particularly great either and even at this short runtime of only 15 minutes, it began to drag a bit while they were working on the bomb in the first 10 minutes. All in all, I believe this is not a particularly memorable movie. Pity. Not recommended. Oh yeah, the writer and director is Lutz Lemke, his only credit in these two films though, probably as he is one of Germany's finest visual effects artists and he worked on the likes of "Perfume" and "Das Experiment".
