Synopsis |
|
Come Undone begins during one hot,
French summer in a sleepy,
picturesque town near the coast of
Nantes and ends there 18 months
later. As Mathieu, a quiet
18-year-old boy, spends yet another
holiday with his depressed mother,
nosy aunt and clingy sister, he
meets a cocksure young man, Cedric
who catches his eye while selling
candy at the local seaside amusement
park. The beautiful, more
experienced Cedric begins to pursue
Mathieu, and they are soon meeting
for clandestine, evening encounters
in the dunes. The young men open up
to their respective families about
the nature of their involvement, and
a fragile happiness sets in. The
audience is allowed to steal very
private glances at Mathieu's
memories and snapshots of his life,
including his loss of innocence.
These moments let us experience what
happens to Mathieu after he gives in
to Cedric's pleas for a life
together. He learns to live
independently for the first time,
far removed from the people whose
love he's always taken for granted. |
