Directed by
Christophe Honoré
Genres
Comedy, Drama, Romance
Starring
Pierre Deladonchamps, Vincent Lacoste, Denis Podalydès
Overview
At once an intimate chronicle of a romance and a sprawling portrait of life in early 1990s France following the intertwining journeys of Jacques, a worldly Parisian writer, and Arthur, a curious, carefree and much-younger university student who is just beginning to live. Brought together by chance, the two men find themselves navigating a casual fling that gradually deepens into a tender, transformative bond.
