Synopsis

To film his training sessions in figure skating, Etienne's grandmother gives him a video camera. Teen-aged Etienne starts recording his everyday life with his friends and mother in Rouen, without being voyeuristic, more as a game and a way of collecting souvenirs. His interest in one teachers, so he believes, is because he thinks he would be a perfect partner for his mother. The relationship that develops between them proves he was right, but also makes him realize that his own desire was more ambiguous than he thoughts.

""An entertaining, life-affirming piece of work that echoes the style of veteran filmmaker, Eric Rohmer.""-Graeme Kay, indielondon.co.uk

From the directors of ""Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo""
