Drama. French sensibility.
Two brothers bond after their parents are killed. Vincent (Mathieu Tribes) is eighteen, and he learns to be the older and wiser influence on little brother Lucien (Maxime Monsimier).
His confidence in the new role is bolstered by support from Jessica (Clemence Poesy) and she comforts him in dealing with his loss and new responsibility.
In the meantime, Lucien drifts into an idiosyncratic fantasy world -- in which his parents are alive.
The crisis comes when Vincent and Jessica break off their relationship, and, at the same time, Vincent must be persistent in rescuing his brother, helping Lucien orient to a less fabulous, everyday reality.
This is a good quality, reasonably well-made television drama episode ... originally made for an audience with somewhat different cultural values than might be common in the US.
