A shy and fragile teenager, Tom returns to a new high school. His parents protect him but, while his mother is late expecting another child, he can especially count on the advice of his big brother Léo. This one will help him to become "a real man". Until crossing certain limits…
If the initial idea of this film, which is eyeing on the side of the fantastic, is attractive and touching, the intrigue unfortunately does not hold up long. The characters lack thickness and their credibility relationships. In the end, the director signs a nice and too superficial film.
Too bad, because the themes discussed - adolescence, relationships between brothers, influence ... - deserved more skill.
