Summaries

Storyline

Leo and Remi are two thirteen-year-old best friends, whose seemingly unbreakable bond is suddenly, tragically torn apart. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Lukas Dhont's second film is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing. — A24 With summer drawing to a close, inseparable 13-year-old best friends Léo and Rémi idle away the rest of the holidays before school. It is as if the two bosom buddies share an unbreakable brotherly bond beyond their comprehension--in fact, nothing can ever come between them. However, when the boys' cloudless friendship catches the attention of their schoolmates on the first day of school, mean remarks put Léo and Rémi's close relationship to the test. After that, nothing will ever be the same again. — Nick Riganas
