Vapor is a Canadian comedy-drama short film, directed by Kaveh Nabatian and released in 2010. The film depicts the emotional journey of Enrique Salgado (Marco Ledezma), a middle-aged gay Mexican man, through shame, fear and internalized homophobia toward self-acceptance, after being invited to pose in the nude for a photographer (Evergon).[1]

The film was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2010.[2] It received a Genie Award nomination for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 31st Genie Awards,[3] and a Prix Jutra nomination for Best Short Film at the 13th Jutra Awards.[4]
