A Story of No Importance
Directed by Jacques Duron
Produced by IDHEC
A tender, introspective coming-of-age story about two adolescent boys navigating awakening desire and the painful asymmetry of unrequited love.
A coming of age story about two great friends during the school years whose friendship is truly tested when one of the boys start to develop different feelings for the other. At first, it seems Philippe and Claude are just experimenting new sensations, everything is pure curiosity to them. But total reciprocity isn't the name of the game and Philippe is clearly infatuated with his friend.
