Summary:

Sébastien loves his best friend Romain. Romain loves Sophie, who loves him back. Sophie's best friend Marine loves Sébastien--and that's how high school goes. Sébastien is a gay teenager, unhappy in the small coastal town where he has grown up. He leaves for Paris, where he comes out to his father, who is warmly supportive, letting Sébastien move in with him. Sébastien renames himself Zack, decides to become an actor, and plunges into cosmopolitan gay life, eventually finding a nice boyfriend. But Sébastien still dreams of Romain, and when Romain announces he will visit Paris, Sébastien naturally wonders if their reunion could lead to a new beginning--or a rerun of high school.
