Movie description:

Gabe Kowalski is a late bloomer and all-around misfit whose dad still cuts his hair. When Gabe’s »anonymous« question about his still smooth armpits is selected to be read aloud in sex-ed class, Gabe goes to great lengths to impress his classmate crush, Shane, at Penny Foster’s birthday party.

Gabe Kowalski is 13 years old, and he really wants to impress the boy he has a crush on, but those outward signs of puberty are frustratingly slow to arrive, so Gabe takes matters into his own hands ...

This colorful comical short opens with a teacher encouraging her students to ask anything about puberty. Gabe is curious about why he doesn’t have any underarm hair yet, but everyone just laughs. Desperate to impress his classmate Shane at another student’s birthday party, Gabe glues cut hair to his armpits before heading to the party with his best pal Veronica. Then he discovers that it’s a pool party ...
