A comeback for the Quebec wunderkind director Xavier Dolan who made a stir at Cannes with his first few features like I Killed My Mother and Mommy. Maxime (Xavier Dolan) is preparing to move from his hometown of Montreal to Australia, leaving behind his troubled mother (Anne Dorval) and boisterous group of twenty-something friends, including lifelong best pal Matthias (Gabriel D’Almeida Freitas). A few months before his departure, the gang spends the weekend at a lakeside retreat, where Matthias and Maxime agree to take part in an experimental student film, which requires them to kiss. After it happens, a change occurs between them, one they cannot articulate, but neither can they deny its powerful impact. (Irish Film Institute)
