I'm sorry I had to give this movie 4/10. It started off very nice, with some background story of the main character told in a subtle way, some development, but as soon as I saw the scene where they get intimate for the first time, I knew it wasn't worth watching it. The first contact is very important, there should be a whole story of both characters leading to the intimate interaction - glances, sighs, movements, gestures etc. The whole story leading to that moment can be a lot more intriguing, beautiful and spectacular than the moment itself.
Here it had no proper character development, one sided approach, all of a sudden one of them starts groping another one and after being groped he consents to being kissed! What!? This is very vulgar. It's like you give a female co-worker a pat on her butt-cheeks and then she doesn't resist kissing you.
No matter how the movie evolves after that, the movie is lost to a more or less sober and mature viewer.
If you want to know how to develop a character, how to build characters, the plot, the scene i.e. everything that leads to the first contact you should watch Jongens, Stadt Land Fluss, Freir Fall etc. Watch how it happens in Stadt Land Fluss from 51:00 to 55:00, how nicely it is done, it takes 4 minutes from the aha moment to the actual interaction, how nicely the actors played, how the scene is set up, it's just so wonderful.
