In a small town on the Belgian coast, 15-year-old Pim (Florizoone) falls for floppy-haired Gino (Vergels). It's easy on the eye and features sensitive performances, especially from Florizoone and van der Gucht as his voluptuous mother, but clichéd symbolism and a predictable story rob it of emotional impact.
