CGiii Comment
A teen is crap at school but good at tennis...and grunting. He receives private lessons on all sorts of subjects...mainly sex.
This is, truly, an abhorrent piece of work...from a disturbingly, troubled mind.
Seriously, Lafosse should be put under investigation - this is grooming and exploitation...it is utterly repellent...
To present this to the public as a work of art is taking it too far....those who financed this should analyse their reasoning and responsibilities...be ashamed.
Rarely do we have such strong feelings...but, this film should be destroyed.

The(ir) Blurb...
A sixteen-year-old aspiring tennis pro neglects his education in hopes of volleying his way straight to Wimbledon, but finds his ambitions sidelined when his relationship with his tutor takes a decidedly personal turn. Jonas has just failed his exams, but who needs an education when you're a world-famous athlete. Unfortunately, Jonas hasn't achieved that level of fame just yet, though he's convinced that he's well on his way. When thirty-year-old Pierre offers to tutor Jonas and the cocky young athlete turns his back on school entirely, the boundaries of their relationship become increasingly blurred.
