Plot:
Olympus for the first time flirting with Leo for an evening with the same high school teens, a Saturday evening. An unforgettable moment for the two young lovers who discover the excitement. Leaving the party with Marion, his best friend, Olympus flies happiness and carefree. But down at her, Geraldine, his rival ahead. It does not give him a place in the court of Leo and is blackmailing him. The shock Olympus plunges into sadness and confusion. On returning home, she refuses to explain the reasons for her grief to his mother. The following Monday at school, Geraldine causes Olympus by publicly referring to homosexuality to her mother. The wound is huge and only Leo manages to soothe and calm his crying. Olympus joined her mother at her work and asked him specific questions about his relationship with his father, also a homosexual at the time of conception. His mother, embarrassed to have to talk about his private life, assured of the great respect she has always had for him and then abruptly closes the dialog. For this mother, it is never time to talk, it is never the right time. Olympus suffocating in that atmosphere of nondits and taboos. She screams at her mother's expectations but it can not talk. Suppressed by its own taboos. Leo, it is always there to support Olympus. Until she interprets it through a compliment him: "I love you because you're different, unique." Words that sound like an insult, words that echo the narrow mentality of this small provincial town with ideas rearguard where they live. The dialogue has become difficult between the two teens. So Olympus turns times the weekend to his father. He lives right in the Marais district in Paris. Its difference is therefore not necessary to be gay in this neighborhood. These two days are a breath of fresh air in the life of Olympus because she can freely talk about his torments, to confess to finding his identity and benchmarks stable through an understanding of his parents. Back home her mother surprises her in intimacy with his mistress. In shock, she tries to cut the veins. An event that sounds like a distress signal to his parents. Olympus does not lie in its relationship with other students at school in his life with his mother and his relationship with Leo. This slump takes away any insight, particularly in his encounters when she skipped classes. Ambivalent, like all teens, she seeks the extreme and tries to find its place in the whirlwind of life. His insights and his awakening to destabilize the relationship problems especially as it is undermined by his family setting.
