Une histoire sans importance is a French short film directed by Jacques Duron from 1980 . The film deals with the erotic friendship of two male adolescents.

action

16-year-old Claude and 17-year-old Philippe go to the same high school in a small French town. At the station, where the students are waiting for the train home, but also on the train itself, Claude tries everything to get Philippe's attention. In fact: You meet in a bistro, where Claude sends the other a written message: "I want you."

Afterwards the friendship turns more and more towards the erotic. Claude wants Philippe to show him how to masturbate. But the latter, laughing, wards off: Claude is only making fun of him. It almost comes to a kiss, unless Philippe's father disturbs.

While Claude only thinks of sex, Philippe primarily wants tenderness, but is rejected by the former: "I'm not a girl," he says indignantly. After all, there is sex after an overnight stay.

At this point the story overturns. While Philippe is downright in love, but at the same time complains about the lovelessness of the younger, Claude turns away from him more and more. He meets a girl at a campsite and kisses her. Philippe becomes jealous, almost violent, but then runs out of the tent, depressed.

Now the friendship is broken. Philippe secretly sneaks after his former boyfriend in town, but Claude and his new girlfriend notice. Apparently Philippe cannot avoid his attraction, because in the last scene the two are together in a hotel room, the younger one is paid for sex by the older one. "I hope I was worth the money," he says.
