The bright summer light. The rich colours of flower fields. A boys close friendship, ever so intimate, so innocent, so beautiful.
Attending secondary school it's confronted by the ugliness of social pressure and prejudice. One of the boys feels so distraught by this pressure, that in the resulting process of estrangement the friendship breaks, with devastating consequences. As a result one of the boys has to deal with his fear, his guilt and his desperation.
It's as distressing for the viewer than it is for the boys. I have never seen before children actors playing with such authenticity and heart breaking emotionality. An astonishing experience, intense direction and photography , beautiful music. Strongly recommended!
