Presque Rien

Directed by Sébastien Lifshitz

Lifshitz’s acclaimed gay coming-of-age drama replays the dizzying madness of first love then dares to follow the affair beyond. A romance is kindled during a summer seaside holiday. Whether in the moonlight or amongst the sand dunes, inexperienced Mathieu and hunky Cedric get to know each other on every level. They try to make their intense, passionate affair into something more permanent. But it starts to unravel under the pressures of familial dramas and overly interested onlookers.
