Director Sylvain Cruiziat draws upon his close relationship to his brother to paint a fascinatingly intimate documentary portrait of the concerns and desires of a young generation.
The director focuses on his younger brother Maxime and his brother's expat friends Julian and Vilas, observing their carefree student lives in Munich day and night. But the end of their bromance is near, because in a few weeks the boys will have to part ways. This entertaining portrait of a close friendship among boys concerned with nonexistent sex lives, their search for love, and questions about their own penis size, renders visible what is otherwise hard to discern behind the façade of male youth.
