Plot
Léo and Rémi, two thirteen-year-old boys in Belgium, are inseparable friends until classmates ask whether they are a couple. Léo pulls away from Rémi in embarrassment, and the consequences of this distance are devastating. Lukas Dhont's 2022 film, with a delicate, observant style, is a moving story of friendship, grief and guilt, and won the Grand Prix at Cannes.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lukas Dhont's drama follows two 13-year-old boys whose friendship fractures after classmates question it. Tender and devastating, it is a film about masculinity, shame and grief.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
