Tenderness

Angus is a college student with a problem expressing himself. It runs in his family, since his father is no more likely speak about his feelings than he is to give someone a spontaneous hug. However, his dad is working on his closed manner by taking dancing lessons. Angus, on the other hand, is stiffer even than his old man, and his sister is another silent sufferer. When he comes back home from school for his birthday, he has an encounter (arranged by his dad) with the dance teacher, and the next morning he just can't stop talking about his feelings, going all the way back to his childhood. Neither can anybody else, and once the dam has burst, a flood of long-buried feelings comes to light.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
