The narrative occasionally pushes the limits of believability within a modern-day French school setting, yet the underlying emotions are genuinely disturbing. A photograph surfaces depicting a kiss! We learn one participant is "Nathan" (Bérenger Anceaux), but his companion remains unknown. The intrigue among his classmates arises from the fact that the other person in the photo is also male. Is it a prank? A drunken moment? Or perhaps something deeper? What follows does occasionally fall into predictable patterns as we find out his father, a police officer (Patrick Timsit), is largely unconcerned with his son's actions and more focused on the gossip he encounters at work. The film presents a school environment where a boy experiences bullying and physical abuse, despite what one would expect from an administrator seemingly more concerned about appearances than the well-being of a student with visible injuries. Once we learn the identity of Nathan’s romantic partner, the focus then shifts to that boy's family. His father, in particular, is portrayed as quite unpleasant – a doctor who finds his son’s sexuality objectionable and is determined to suppress it. This situation ultimately leads to conflict between the parents regarding how best to navigate their child’s developing identity, an identity they love but perhaps not without reservations. The young actors are what make this film worthwhile. Anceaux delivers a solid and believable performance, as does Jules Houplain ("Louis"), who also gives a moving portrayal of his character's emotional state. Some of the negativity present in the story is effectively conveyed by Nathan’s classmates – both boys and girls – who embody narrow-mindedness and prejudice that the film successfully exposes and attempts to hold accountable. Being a ninety-minute television movie, it’s unlikely its aim is to dramatically change attitudes toward intolerance or homophobia, but the actors on screen present a touching story that prompts reflection on what schools teach us beyond academic subjects.
