Synopsis |
|
Twenty-one-year-old Leo (Pierre
Mignard) is the eldest son of a
tightknit rural French family headed
by youthful parents who love him and
accept his homosexuality. When the
family learns of Leo's HIV-positive
status, things become much more
challenging for the loving
group--especially for youngest
brother Marcel (Yannis Lespert), who
is being excluded from serious
family discussions about Leo's
condition due to his age. But Marcel
overhears one particular
conversation and learns the
devastating news on his own, leading
the 11-year-old on a quest for the
truth even as his family continues
to pretend that nothing is wrong.
This warm French drama explores the
boundaries of family love during
times of crisis from a unique and
very moving perspective. |
