**Rivalry, that's where sometimes it all begins.** I don't know why this film has not been watched by many. This is a good film, a good French gay film. Like many reviewers had already mentioned, this is not your typical gay theme. It would have been better if you had tried it without knowing what kind of story is this. Anyway, I mentioned it, but it is not a spoiler if you thought so. It would have landed at you in one way or the other while learning about the film. It was more a drama than the romance. But everything has to have a nicer initiation. So, that's how the film characters take…

“Adolescence is the only time when you learn something at all”
Damien lives with his mother Marianne, a doctor, while his father, a pilot, is on a tour of duty abroad with the French military. At school, Damien is bullied by Thomas, who lives in the farming community up in the mountains. The boys find themselves living together when Marianne invites Thomas to come and stay with them while his mother is ill in hospital. Damien must learn to live with the boy who terrorized him.

User Reviews
This was a fairly good movie and for the most part enjoyable. I think it lacked motivation for one of the characters though, he started out as a bully, but we never really learn why, he does give a slight answer for it later, but it just seems like there should have been more to it. The gay part of the story had a happy ending, but the non-gay part did not, so it's kind of a mixed reaction to this one.
