Pride 4: Heavenly Peace.

 *

- Heavenly Peace. (2015. Dir. Andreas Wessel-Therhorn). Animated Short. 

John and Jason got into a fight and broke up —just before Christmas. But a visiting cherub is not satisfied with merely delivering their intended gifts. With a little trickery, he just might be able to help this couple remember how they truly feel about each other…

Charming short that packs both genuine tenderness and subtle bite, from its drag rendition of “Silent Night” for the opening, to a sardonic stinger after the end credits. It’s also an extremely rare animated adaptation of Ralf König, a fundamental part of gay comics worldwide. 

Quite recommended, and curiously suitable for all ages. 

And in comparison to “Out”, now here is a genuinely queer story made *for* queer people.
