This has to be one of the best films on gay love coming from France. The father and uncle characters were irritating to say the least, but it's to be expected. This story is so real and hits home. The pain of coming out, or not is keenly felt by those of us who can identify with it. The performances are first class from the entire cast. Cyrille Thouvenin and Stephan Guerin Tillie were outstanding. One can almost believe they are lovers in real life, as they are so natural and comfortable together. It's what one is left with after watching this film: THAT WAS REALLY LOVE! What greater mark of success could be asked for, or achieved, in setting a gay romance on film?
Mind the "water-fight" scene: you've never seen such fun and joy over being together expressed by a gay couple in any previous movie. No wonder this scene leads to the one which it does...
