CGiii Comment
You will want to like this...but, irritatingly, there are just too many gaping holes.
Crammed with inconceivable scenarios and a distracted director at the helm - where did your concentration go?
Gladly, there are slivers of a good story...sadly, the work of a director who frequently takes his finger off of the pulse.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
When 21 year-old Leo, the oldest of four brothers, announces to his rural French family that he's HIV+ family bonds are tested. The family decides that 11 year Marcel, the youngest, is too young to understand and the family agrees to keep the unsettling news from him. Marcel overhears enough to understand that something amiss with Leo and when the two travel to Paris together, Marcel confronts Leo with what he suspects.
