Tender

A teenage boy reminisces about his summer romance with Chaïnes at a small lake.

Why watch this film?

Short delicate film about teenage love. 'Tendre' follows three young people, Hugo, Chaïnes and Mia, and their discoveries about life. This is a very delicate and verbose film, even though it only has 43 minutes of duration it can be tiring for those who are impatient. If you want to see a sensitive and romantic story, it's a good indication. The production has beautiful photography and makes a parallel between documentary and fiction, letting you enter the narrative along with the characters. Director Isabel Pagliai was able to capture the essence of youth well.

Plot summary

On a hot summer day by a small lake, Mia asks Hugo, 15 years old and yet already blasé, to tell her about his love story with Chaïnes. Despite his reluctance, memories come to the surface: evenings spent at the edge of the lake trying to seduce her, or the fear felt when declaring his love.
