At times this does rather stretch the bounds of plausibility at a school in 21st century France, but the sentiment behind it is quite worryingly potent. A photo emerges of a kiss! We know that one of the kissers is "Nathan" (Bérenger Anceaux) but who is the other? What piques the curiosity of his schoolmates is that the other kisser is also a boy! Drunken game? Wind-up? True love? What now ensues ...
