Hi everyone, this is my very first film "A Twist of Fate". I hope you enjoy!

A Twist of Fate is a short dramatic narrative film that follows the story of Benji, a boy who was left at the doorstep of an orphanage home as a baby. He grows up under the hands of Tresa, a conservative and abusive matron, who puts him into hard labour each day, and as a queer boy, Benji struggles to get adopted, slowly killing his hope to find a family to love him. After being the only kid left in the orphanage for so long, Benji is taken aback when Samuel, a newly orphaned boy becomes a part of the home.
