CGiii Comment
Bavo Defurne has made many excellent short films...this is his first feature.
Truly, a gifted director...to elicit such performances from his young actors is a commendable achievement.
This is young love with all of its joy, confusion and sadness.
Beautifully composed, breathtakingly refreshing, Defurne has cemented everything from his short-film-learning-curve into a feature that gently fires on all cylinders.
A precise, touching beauty of a film.

The(ir) Blurb...
Pim, the emotionally abandoned and affection-starved young gay son of a small seaside town's resident floozy, grows up dreaming intensely of a loving father who will someday come for him, but never does. Frequently home alone, Pim often spends time at a neighbor's house where another single mom and her two teenage children accept him matter-of-factly. As Pim is about to turn 15, he and neighbor boy Gino become each other's friend-with-benefits, entering a period of sexual awakening together. Life, however, is all about change, and while Gino (a couple years older) is ready to move on and move out, Pim is not, leaving Pim behind to carry on with his continuing crush for Gino (while Gino's sister Sabrina develops an unrequited crush for Pim).
