Un film doux et violent à la fois. J’ai adoré Anja V qui joue le rôle de queen. C’est authentique et on ressent très bien le besoin du personnage principal d’être validé par ses anciens bourreaux peu importe ce que ça lui coûte sur le moment.
Synopsis
Hugo is 19 years old. Like every summer, he spends his holidays on an Atlantic island, in the small family house. But this year is different: Hugo has undergone a physical transformation and arrives with his girlfriend, Queen, a beautician whose lively chatter and long, glittery nails contrast sharply with the young man’s modesty and shyness. Before long, the couple becomes the focus of everyone’s attention.
