A film about brotherhood. And only about brotherhood because, except this "territory", the film works not very well. Decent performances, nice story and the temptation to be a manifesto. A teenager , his not real inspired date with an older man, moralistic sense of dialogue and beautiful cinematography. And, maybe, in large lines and high perspective, nothing more. Touching, no doubts , but not convincing.

This is a reasonably well acted short film about two handsome brothers living with their parents in the French countryside. The youngest is gay, the older one straight but they are very close and protective. Having an enquiring mind I wondered how ' straight ' the elder brother was but I chastised myself for naughty thoughts. The younger needs what is coyly called affection, and being seventeen he longs to make an online connection with a man ' around ' thirty. Of course of his own volition he meets the ' ageing ' predatory man in a sort of hotel and well, use your imagination. He calls his brother, who rushes to get the nasty wolf who has been very bad indeed. Hysterical shouting follows, and end of spoilers. All this seemed like a warning film from the 1950's about how teenagers must not, and definitely not go with predators. The ending seemed to lack something. I just wondered if older brother would hover over him for life!! Beautifully filmed though this film is and handsome though the two brothers were I just wondered why they were so good looking ? Couldn't they have been more ' ordinary ' as most people are ? Good looks become too much of a cliched look in gay genre films.
