Philippe is 17 years old and an outsider. As the highly gifted son of the principal, who has little contact with his classmates, he lives in a provincial French village. He is attracted to his classmate Thomas, a mysterious and charismatic winemaker's son, and is completely taken aback when he reciprocates his interest. Thomas becomes his first and great love. A love that can only be lived in secret and that ends tragically for Thomas because, shaped by rural conventions, he will deny his sexual identity for the rest of his life.
