What makes this different from other gay love stories is the setting: its natural depiction of rural life with scenes of farm school operations and the people behind it. Same sex love do exist even in these places.
Another example of cinema-verite technique in filmmaking, quite subtle in style. Yes, the film is slow paced, but it is never boring. The attraction between the two apprentices is naturally developed. The long glances and yearning were only shown halfway thru the film and when it happens, it makes their love story more believable and satisfying.
Great natural acting from by the two leads throughout. I especially like the piano interludes which play at the right moments.
If you have the patience and allow yourself time to understand their story, then you might find it fulfilling as I did..
