Eight paintings. Eight episodes from a child's life, moving toward adulthood. Eight interconnected chapters that revolve around the same question: Who is he?

A lover who, at the age of 8, committed an unforgivable act?

A hopeless underachiever for whom negative grades were invented?

An intruder, a fraud, an impostor?

A brave soul who rebels when necessary?

A coward who obeys even when he disapproves?

A potential rugby player? An unlikely footballer?

A whistleblower responsible for a dreadful corporal punishment?

This search for identity is sharpened by the gaze of others, who seem to scrutinize him in pursuit of their own answers. What do they think they can discern about his sexuality? "In or out?"

With subtlety and precision, Pierre Leterrier brings to life the turmoil of the quest for self-identity.
