A family holiday in a big house on the island of Ré, long hours of lazy mornings, bike rides, the languid as the sun caress dreams. Let the outset,My Beautiful kid is a little brittle film, consisting of little things: shopping in the village shellfishing between cousins, half-siblings, lounging in the garden, under the gaze of adults apparently caring.
Maden was 17. She gets up late, do not talk much, avoids his father - who divorced his mother and would like to reconnect with his daughter, a link that you press distended. Maden melancholy behind a treasure and cherish it removes the eyes of others: a romantic correspondence with a prisoner thirty.
From this point of view, My beautiful boy is also a sensitive and modest work on the age of secrets, crossed by the tenacious feeling so tragic and disgust of banality.
This light and serious work, which refrains from saying too much, touch the unspeakable and captures both its delicacy and bitterness hidden by the summer light. These qualities give it a singular tone.
