Trying to identify a pre-2010 movie with a young man talking to a pet turtle
I'm trying to identify a movie I've been looking for for over 10 years.
I only saw about 3 seconds of it as a child because my parents wouldn't let me watch it. This was around 2010 on DVD, but the movie could have been released any time before then.
This is everything I remember:
- Live-action movie.
- A young man (around his 20s) with black hair.
- He looked South Asian/Indian (I'm not certain).
- He was speaking English.
- He was shirtless or partly undressed.
- The scene was indoors, probably in a dimly lit living room or apartment.
- He was holding or talking to a small pet turtle.
- I specifically remember him speaking softly or affectionately to the turtle.
- No woman was visible in the scene I saw.
- The turtle may only have appeared briefly and might not be important to the plot.
- My parents didn't let me watch the movie, but looking back, the scene itself may not have been sexual. I may have assumed that because I was a child.
- My mother may have called the movie something that sounded like "Punk" or "Phoonk," but I'm very unsure about that.
I know these are very vague memories, but if this reminds anyone of a movie, even an obscure or independent one, I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
