An award-winning short film from Canadian writer-director Martin Edralin, Hole is a powerful piece of work, shining light on a topic – and a kind of character – that are too often ignored.
Ken Harrower stars in the film as Billy, a middle-aged disabled man who yearns for an intimate connection in his solitary life. While roaming the city streets in pursuit of intimacy, he finds his disability a constant barrier to his emotional and sexual needs.
The closest thing Billy has to a friend is Craig, a handsome caregiver played by Sebastian Deery, who visits daily to help him with chores and bathing. With no other options, Billy turns to his only friend for some much-coveted relief.
Unflinchingly honest, Hole is a bold and provocative study of disability, sexuality, loneliness, lust and the not-unreasonable request to be treated with basic human dignity.
