Love is a harbor and shelter

"Shelter is a story about people – not gay people - just people. It's not a gay story, but a story about an ideal relationship born from a less than ideal situation" The
director's explanation of the film well explained the theme of the film. The male protagonist Zach was trapped in life and had to bear it. He was an uncle but played the role of a father, giving up his ideal art school in order to take care of his family. His girlfriend is in trouble with him. The two should be in love, but they both love each other too clumsily, and the time they spend together is not happy. Zach can't give his girlfriend everything he wants, and he wants to be his girlfriend's protector, but he is incompetent and can only help. In such a relationship, the two people are torn deeper and deeper, and they become more and more chaotic, unconsciously becoming each other's black holes. The appearance of Sean allowed Zach to see the sunshine and warmth in life. For the first time, he changed from a strong and strong asylum to a sheltered person. Sean appreciated his artistic talent and led him to relax together. Enjoy life, secretly help him submit applications, and let Sean regain his artistic dream. It is under his protection that Sean has the ability and courage to be the ideal self again. This relationship is staged in the film by homosexuality. In fact, such a relationship may happen to any two people, and it may be presented in a different way, in friendship or other forms. An ideal relationship in an unideal state is the most pitiful.
