Damien lives with his mother Marianne, a doctor, while his father, a pilot, is on a tour of duty abroad with the French military. At school, Damien is bullied by Thomas, who lives in the farming community up in the mountains. The boys find themselves living together when Marianne invites Thomas to come and stay with them while his mother is ill in hospital. Damien must learn to live with the boy who terrorized him.

17 felt so long ago. i’m turning 25 and i keep wondering if this is it— the rest of my life. life is unkind, and my dreams are fantasies. at least i got my little moving pictures.
