Ruby pleine de marde

A fun, witty Christmas short film by Jean-Guillaume Bastien

Synopsis

Denis finds himself attending his lover Carl’s family Christmas celebrations. Carl’s family, staunchly catholic and traditional, are completely unaware their son Carl’s intimate relationship with Denis. And as such, Denis finds himself isolated and uncomfortable in the presence of the Catholic pageantry that he himself had fled when accepting his own sexuality. However, upon meeting Carl’s spoiled rotten little six-year-old niece Ruby, he finds himself once again judged by the Catholic traditions from which he was birthed. Spoiled-rotten Ruby soon becomes his full of shit adversary.
