Opisy(1)
Young Argentine Lucas arrives in a small Belgian town to visit gay bakery owner Henry, who fell in love with him through the internet; Lucas strutted his erotic stuff online in the hope of securing a better future for himself. Henry buys him a plane ticket to Europe, expecting in return that Lucas will not only share his bed but also help out at the bakery. However, their ideas about living together differ greatly. On top of that, Lucas gets to know a Canadian woman named Audrey and her son Jeff. This unusual starting point for director Lambert serves his aim of delving deeply into our interpersonal relationships, our wishes and desires, and the understandable need for a supportive environment. The filmmaker succeeded in humorously describing and distinguishing the film's characters and in aptly portraying their fragility and inner uncertainty. The bold musical and visual elements round out the picture's compelling atmosphere, and are among the most telling aspects of the talented Belgian filmmaker's unmistakable style.

The film works with a very interesting topic: a young Canadian man offering erotic and escort services to homosexuals moves in with an obese, kind-hearted gay baker (without having any idea what his breadwinner looks like). The series of plot lines that takes place after his arrival in the Belgian town do not lack a good dose of occasional humor, but they lack focus and a more dynamic pace. The closer the film gets to the end, the more the comedy decrease and the drama becomes more serious. However, the film stumbles from side to side all the time and ends in a way that leaves the viewer with a number of ambiguities and unanswered questions. The actors in both main roles are excellent, but the characters themselves and their common escapades do not capture the heart.
