**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…

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.
