Synopsis

Pim lives in a run-down house in a dead-end street somewhere on the Flanders coast, together with his mother Yvette Bulteel. Life here smells of cold French fries, cheap cigarettes, vermouth and stale beer. As a kid, Pim dreams of a better life, imagining princesses and beauty queens. But when Pim turns sixteen, he begins dreaming of Gino, the handsome boy next door, instead.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Micitype Pretty Good
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
saraorg-91463 For some people i can expect that this wouldn't be so perfect to them , but damn this is perfect to me. i can say that i've cried about 3 times while watching this specially at the end , which is satisfying compared with other German gay movies i have seen such as : summer storm , land of storms , free fall , sasha , beach rats .... as if Germans have this kind of love or relationship issues , but that one broke the rule . i loved how the story began with his childhood and then he met Gino and fell in love with him , oh poor pim . also want to add that i liked the song at the end very much . i really got attached to that movie .
Ben Davis After finding this movie on complete accident through IMDb's "People who liked this also liked…" thing, I figured I'd give this film a shot. I thought it looked decent, nothing amazing, so I didn't go in with amazingly high expectations or anything. I'm sad to say the film couldn't live up to my rather low expectations. All I really wanted from this movie was for it to present with me a teenage boy who I could sympathize with. I didn't even really need a strong, relatable character. Just someone I could feel for. I didn't get that. The main character, and everyone else for that matter, was so bland and emotionless. He looked like he didn't want to be on set. It made it kind of difficult to really care about what was happening. In the end, the movie just turned out rather boring, unfortunately.
paul_3-960-896774 Pim, Gino, and Sabrina, are entering a period of sexual awakening and the movie is very much about finding love, first love, and heartbreaks. It's a bit of a strange movie with a very slow and dream-like pace. There seem to be a lot going on in Pim's mind but it doesn't always translate on screen. I am not criticizing the actor here because I think he did a great job, I'm just saying that some scenes could have used a little push to make them great.There are extremely long silences and yes, they are putting emphasis on those scenes and the fact that Pim lives in a dream world. But maybe there are too many of them. Pim cannot seem to catch a break in this film, when he's starting to get over Gino, here comes another heartbreak. In that aspect the movie is very realistic, it's a bit of an emotional roller coaster. There're subtle changes throughout the movie showcasing that change is part of life, something that we have to deal with.North Sea, Texas has beautiful photography, great visuals and score that add an eerie feel to the movie. Speaking about eerie, Pim started off, sweet but slowly got creepy - in my opinion - with his obsessive hoarding of anything guys he liked owned. I also didn't understand the whole alphabet reciting thing but it sure added to his creepiness.Finally, for a film set in the 1970s with gay characters, it was refreshing to see that the whole shame, self-loathing and guilt of being gay was dismissed for a coming of age story. Treating Gino and Pim's story as the most natural thing.If you haven't seen the movie please watch it and if you want to talk about it tweet me @wornoutspines.
tuxedo93 If you are down, try this movie. It's excellent creation of time and space. The actors are all believable.and this movie should have gone to the Oscars instead ! It would be nominated for best soundtrack, best picture, best actors, best photography. Suited from 12 years old. No violence. Compare it with 'Get Real', and 'A beautiful Thing' but better.It give an excellent idea how gay's explore their world in the 1950-1960's in Belgium.
