Celebrated novelist St\u00e9phane Belcourt is invited back to his native Cognac as guest of honor at the bicentennial celebration for a local cognac producer.\u00a0 At first, a bit unsettled at being thrust back into the childhood stomping-ground he abandoned 35 years earlier, he quickly changes his tune when he unexpectedly meets Lucas. The young man turns out to be the son of St\u00e9phane\u2019s first love, his great love, Thomas Andrieu. The very \u201cThomas\u201d who appears in every one of his novels. Suddenly, all those distant memories come flooding back to him.\u00a0Olivier Peyon\u2018s moving adaptation of Philippe Besson\u2019s award-winning autobiographical novel of the same name jumps back and forth between 1984 and the present. It is, of course, a story of sexual awakening, and a plaintive memoir on the bittersweet heartbreak of lost love.\u00a0 It\u2019s also about how shame, hiding, and denying one\u2019s true self can be a slow-burning death of the soul.\u00a0 And how truth has the power to heal \u2014 maybe not all wounds, but at least a few of the bumps and bruises we accumulate along the way.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
