This drama was made for French TV.
It seems that France makes much better TV movies than we do in the US.
This starts in the same way many comedies start (meet -cute). Our young handsome hero has not come out to his parents. VERY GOOD REASON, his father is a BIGOT of the first order. Our young lad's somewhat older lover does have an understanding Mother. We do have a very pretty young lady who is a fellow student of our hero. The parents assume its a romance between girl & boy.
Now all this we have seen before in many films. We expect the typical ending we see all the time,
NOT here,
I cannot reveal the ending, I will just say it is a most satisfying one.
The acting is first rate all the way through,,The production values are also first rate.
I really do not like downing American TV movies, But we do not make this kind of realistic Gay Themed films that can & should be seen by a large audience.
Ratings:***1/2 (out of 4) 91 points (out of 100) IMDDB (9 out of 10)
