Storyline:

Nathan, 16, lives alone with his father Stephane. A newcomer in high school, he is invited to a party and falls in love with Louis, a boy in his class. They find themselves out of sight and kiss each other, but someone takes a picture of them. Soon, the photo is published on Facebook and a storm overtakes their lives as they face bullying and rejection.

User review:

Simply put…this is one in a number of really, really good gay coming-of-age movies that have come out in 2016.

In a realistic way, they’ve tossed aside a number of the clichés, while focusing on the bare-bones issues that 2 young gay boys share in their completely separate life backgrounds and circumstances — the fear, the bullying, the isolation, the loneliness, and of course, the love.

And this was a well-done love story, top to bottom, with a solid group of actors who all fit their roles perfectly.

Great chemistry all around, a plot that matters, and a script that makes you feel like you’re there. Were there some things plot-wise that are unresolved or questionable? Sure, no doubt about it. This isn’t a flawless film. But, what matters in the film comes full circle.

For those reasons, this is a terrific, must watch for those interested in the genre. Hats off.
