CGiii Comment

A potentially good idea lost in a quagmire of indulgence.

This could have been 20 minutes shorter without damaging the 'story' - thereby, ensuring the audience is still awake by the end!


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Remi throws himself on the ground, listens to birds and falls asleep in hedges. Gabriel opens his stomach to the tip of a knife. They meet.

Rémi et Gabriel, deux garçons que tout semble séparer. L’un habite la campagne, l’autre la ville. Lorsqu’il est seul, Rémi se jette sur le sol, écoute les oiseaux et s’endort dans les haies.
