Our Constellations

Content : Aurélien has never forgotten Maxence.
Their friendship was obvious, inseparable. The magical summer of his eleven years.
And then, his sudden departure, without even a chance to say goodbye.
Since then, seven years have passed. In the village, Aurélien runs his parents’ café alone; he has put all his dreams aside.
Until that July morning when he finds, sitting on the terrace, a boy with familiar features.

Maxence has never forgotten Aurélien.
A tremendous crush. A tidal wave in his orderly life.
That summer, Maxence realised he preferred boys and that his parents would never accept it. Since then, he has hidden his feelings, his fears, his hopes, everything he endures at school…
Until that night, and the last‑minute phone call from his father offering him a second chance, in the South… where Aurélien still lives.

But after so many years, will reality live up to their memories?

"You become so attached to Maxence and Aurélien and their battered lives. And especially to their love, which seeps everywhere, despite doubts and anxieties, seen through the eyes of the teenagers themselves and their loved ones, who all end up swept away by this tidal wave of emotions in one way or another."
