"the boy" is a humorous mock documentary narrated by a woman who becomes increasingly irritated by a boy who has established himself in the Lesbian community. She proceeds to interview her friends and relatives in an attempt to prove that he does not belong. This video plays thematically with popular ideas on gender, subjectivity and liberalism. All of these issues are shown as inconclusive and the video ends with a light hearted twist.
