The step from childhood to the world of adults is an extremely difficult and sensitive time in a person's life. We have all experienced it: not one of us has innocently betrayed friends who swore eternal friendship, not one of us has been hurt ourselves. Winner of the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the new film from the director of "The Girl" Lukas Dhont looks at this fragile phase of life, filling even the most difficult moments with light and kindness. In the center of the film are thirteen-year-olds Leo and Remi, who share a special bond. They enjoy carefree summer days and each other's company. The angelic faces of the boys and the surrounding fields of dahlias, worthy of the brushes of Renaissance painters, immerse the viewer in the world of childhood beauty, like an impressionistic sea of ​​flowers by Renoir. When the boys start school, their friendship is threatened.
