She in turn is confronted by the realisation that her marriage to his father, Philip, has grown loveless and the life she knows is coming to an end. When an enigmatic local teenager, Clément, quietly enters their lives, both mother and son are compelled to confront their desires and, finally, each other.

This was a good movie, but it could have been great. It's about a teen, who happens to be gay, who is dealing with his mother's mental health issues. The gay storyline was good, but there wasn't much of it. There were many scenes with no talking at all, just the mother staring off or wandering around and it really kept the movie from reaching it's potential.
