An author returns to his hometown of Cognac for the first time in 35 years to help promote a distillery. Once there, he meets his first love’s son, Lucas. Memories come rushing back to him: irrepressible attraction, bodies becoming one in the heat of desire, a passion that can never be revealed… His first love’s name was Thomas. They were 17.
Romantic, sexy and also provocative in the way it challenges us to meaningfully confront our own history.
★★★★
Jérémy Gillet and Julien De Saint Jean both excel as the teen boys who fall hard for one another in flashbacks. De Saint Jean is an especially exciting newcomer to watch. The character’s struggle with shame resonates deeply.
★★★★
