Recommended from: 11+

Belgium/Netherlands 2024 | feature film | 97' | Anthony Schatteman | German

Full of optimism and warmth, Anthony Schatteman's debut film tells the story of a touching young love between two boys.

Elias is 14 years old when Alexander, who is the same age, moves in next door. The two spend every free minute together and an intimate friendship develops. Elias prefers to keep his strong feelings for Alex to himself. When Alex tells him in no uncertain terms that he likes boys, it only makes the situation more confusing for Elias. Fearing the reactions of those around him, he begins to avoid Alex. Every lie takes him further away from his friend. Only a conversation with his grandfather makes Elias realize how much heartache he is going through. Encouraged by his grandpa, Elias now knows that he wants to be with Alex.
