Product Description:
Twenty-one-year-old Leo (Pierre Mignard) is the eldest son of a tightknit rural French family headed by youthful parents who love him and accept his homosexuality. When the family learns of Leo's HIV-positive status, things become much more challenging for the loving group--especially for youngest brother Marcel (Yannis Lespert), who is being excluded from serious family discussions about Leo's condition due to his age. But Marcel overhears one particular conversation and learns the devastating news on his own, leading the 11-year-old on a quest for the truth even as his family continues to pretend that nothing is wrong. This warm French drama explores the boundaries of family love during times of crisis from a unique and very moving perspective.
