Synopsis
For the first time Marc spends the summer with his wife Béatrix and their two children Laura and Charly on the Côte d'Azur , where he used to live for a long time. The children are just in their teens and are starting to explore their own sexuality. Laura waits longingly for the arrival of her boyfriend, who is supposed to take her to Portugal on his motorcycle. Her younger brother Charly is visited by his friend Martin to make the area unsafe with him. It soon turns out that Martin is gay and in love with Charly. Although he is straight, he does not care much about his friend's feelings. The mother, on the other hand, sees the two boys as lovers, but believes that Charly is not yet ready to come out . Her husband is anything but enthusiastic about it and initially reacts tense. To make matters worse, Béatrix 'lover Mathieu and the gay plumber Didier, to whom Marc has a very special connection, also appear.
Ultimately, this French comedy is about how far sexual tolerance can go within a family and circle of friends or between generations.
criticism
film-dienst 15/2005: Spirited comedy in the best tabloid manner with convincing actors, sometimes told a bit shrill, sympathetic in their advocacy of tolerance and rebellion against restrictive conventions.
useful information
In addition to a making-of and the “look behind the scenes”, the DVD also features a characteristic scene that fell victim to the final cut because it wanted to show the subject of masturbation in the shower without being able to go into detail.
