CGiii Comment

For a web series, the production values are sky-high...especially the soundtrack.

As for content...well, a wee bit too 'activist' for us...

"Don't be a dick because you have one" - says a lesbian to a young man seeking refuge...some community!?!

Anyway...it's good enough for us to watch the second episode...now that's really saying something!

The(ir) Blurb...

Hicham runs away from his home and comes to Lyon, looking for Thibaut, a young man who tried to kiss him a few years before. Thibaut is an activist at the 'Point G', a LGBT Center. Hicham discovers his world, apprehensive but enthusiast. However, as Hicham begins a journey to find his own identity, he comes to understand that Thibaut himself isn't exactly who he appears.
