Synopsis
C'est l'histoire d'un adolescent d'origine algérienne, Farid, qui provoque des réactions violentes au sein de son environnement familial et de ses amis, parmi lesquels son ami Jean, avec lequel Farid entretenait des relations homosexuelles. Pour la critique Luce Vigo, c'est « un des films les plus marquants de l’histoire du court métrage français des années 1980 : par son sujet – un moment charnière des liens amoureux entre deux garçons, Jean, le Français dessinateur et Farid, l’Algérien apprenti électricien –, par sa dramaturgie qui crée surprise et émotion, par le regard porté par Cyril Collard sur les personnages, la société et les lieux dans lesquels se déroulent les temps forts de son récit. »Actors
