Center of My World

A strange family: 17-year-old Phil lives with his mother and twin sister in an old mansion on the outskirts of town. When he returns from summer camp, the mood in the mansion has soured somehow. Phil doesn’t worry about it, hanging out with his best friend Kat instead. When he starts to feel attracted to a mysterious new student at school, Phil is plunged into emotional turmoil only exacerbated by the trouble at home.
While watching the movie I was pretty disappointed, but afterwards I changed my mind: This is not a gay romance. This is a movie about a person being in love with another person and dealing with issues in that relationship and in the family. The fact that the romance is a homosexual one is merely a side effect.
With that change of „expectation management“ I think the movie is okay.
