Tragic tale of a reserved, closeted gay teen brought out by a very open, defiant and risky teen who also has impregnated his own mother along the way. Out for a night of gay fun (while Mother is giving birth), things take a terrible turn for the worst (think of the scene of Princess Di's death in that car crash in that tunnel, having just happened days before.. As that event paralyzed the world, so too the life of the shy teen who walked away. sending his life into a downward spiral of endless casual sexual encounters, looking for the lost love he'll never find, After much stirm und drang he does, however, manage to find a reasonable facsimile to go with him to the amusement park the 2 boyfriends were hoping to go to before their young love was so violently split asunder. Turns out that was really all the kid wanted after all, and presumably cured his sex addition at the same time. But who is the mystery man who walks into the blinding neon glory of that Dreamland with him? You'll find out,,,
The actors are all terrific, not a weak link in the bunch, and, with the unfortunate exception of a couple of slo-mo cliche's, filming well suited to the tone and troubled psyches in the story
Leave it to the French to make sick perversion so much FUN ;
