In a nutshell, the movie centers around Mathieu, an 18-year-old young man vacationing with his family at the beach. His family consists of his chronically depressed mother, his angry sister, and someone who may be their aunt, and no one is terribly happy with each other. Mathieu meets Cedric at the beach, and there is an instant spark between them. The two soon become intimate and then fall in love. The film shifts back and forth through about three different times in these peoples' lives, showing us what happened, and showing us (sort of) how they got there.
There are a few fairly intense erotic scenes between Cedric and Mathieu, and, sadly, tho are the only real highlights of the film, unless you really, really enjoy the aforementioned angst-ridden staring-out-the-window sequences interspersed with family hostility and bitterness.
The ending gives utterly no sense of closure, and the viewer is left wondering, "why was I supposed to care about these people, and why did I just spend two hours of my life watching this crap?"
The special features aren't worth mentioning, either. Overall, it was hugely disappointing, and I don't recommend it at all. It's less of a love story and more of an introverted series of flashbacks.
