“The exquisite agony of first love”
Pim lives in a run-down house in a dead-end street somewhere on the Flanders coast, together with his mother Yvette Bulteel. Life here smells of cold French fries, cheap cigarettes, vermouth and stale beer. As a kid, Pim dreams of a better life, imagining princesses and beauty queens. But when Pim turns sixteen, he begins dreaming of Gino, the handsome boy next door, instead.
A quiet, sun-drenched coming-of-age story. It feels like a hazy memory of a lonely childhood summer, slowly blossoming into the tender ache of first love and self-discovery. A gentle, introspective mood permeates this sensitive portrayal.
