"PD" ("Fag") is a daring and moving story about facing the courage of coming out as gay during the turbulent years of adolescence. Here, Thomas (Paul Gomerieux)
is a guy who is attracted to newcomer in school Esteban (Jacques Lepesqueur) and the first chance of encountering comes in the form of a play where both guys end
up kissing each other, you know the bottle game. But when school time returns, the rumours are spread that Thomas is homosexual, which sets him apart from everyone
and his friends, and even causes Esteban to keep on rejecting him and asking for Thomas to stay away from him.
But comes a plot twist between the two of them when during the many rejections he suffers, Thomas is persecuted by Esteban in a violent manner that always ends
with some tenderness, some awkward yet exciting passionate moments between them. Little by little Thomas gets to know that the other dude might be bisexual; and
he uses of such fact to break from his shell and make more demands on the other guy. Gotta come out baby...
I absolutely loved the acting, specially Gomerieux, who got the risky role of the shy teen who loves someone who's totally out of his depth, and he deals with
loneliness in school except for a gay teacher who lectures his class about the importance of homosexuals and how the kids shouldn't keep calling themselves
with gay slurs (best scene in the movie along with the interactions between Thomas and Esteban). The movie teach young gays in how to deal with issues of
self-confidence, respect, pride and dignity. I loved the movie for all of those reasons and more. Watch it, find out and you'll be amazed. 10/10.
