Etienne's mother is a bit worried. She thinks, her son should get hobbies that involve other people. Instead he is skating and filming his family. A movie filmed with a video camera with amateur footage of normal lives sounds like the perfect recipe for 100 minutes worth of yawning, however Ducastel and Martineau manages to get me involved and it is difficult to catch my intention.
While Etienne gets more confident with his camera, he also keeps getting on people's nerve who don't want to be captured. Etienne hangs out with his best friend Ludovic, but while the latter is interested in the chicks, Etienne all the times backs out. This in spite of his plan to get finally laid. It is always embarrassing for Etienne when someone mentions, that he is a handsome guy and that he should find some girls to hang out with. It doesn't take long until Etienne's real obsession becomes evident - the male body.
Coming of age has been told and will be told many times. To see it through the eyes and the lens of the main character is a bold and successful experiment. Everybody who likes people should see this film.
