John Butler returns to the festival after last year’s gay coming-out story HANDSOME DEVIL with another sweet gay story entitled PAPU CHULO.  Surprisingly, this one has nothing to do with Ireland,  A TV weatherman (Matt Boner) loses it live n television and forced to take a vacation. 

 He meets up with an older Latino, Ernesto (Alejndro Patino), a migrant worker that he grows attached to for his kindness and ear to listen.  The film reflects class, ethnicity and companionship with the weather standing as a metaphor for life.  It is a sweet film, though a little chiched,  with sweet intentions, difficult to dislike.

  One wishes writer/director Butler would have gone further with his film as PAPI CHULO could have been just as efficient as a short 1-hour movie.
