Story
A sensitive, heart-breaking drama that won the Grand Jury prize at Cannes. The 13-year old boys Léo and Rémi are best friends. They spend every free minute together, play cops and robbers and sleep side by side in Rémi’s bed. But as puberty dawns, their relationship begins to change and the comments about their close friendship mean that the friends start to drift apart, Léo especially distances himself from Rémi.
