Boys (2014)

In the heartwarming narrative of BOYS, we encounter Sieger, a reserved yet athletic 15-year-old, navigating the uncharted territory of love amidst the languid summer downtime. Trained for the upcoming national relay championships, Sieger's disciplined existence takes an unexpected turn when he encounters the charming yet elusive Marc. Their bond, initially disguised as an ordinary friendship, deepens into a clandestine affection that Sieger struggles to acknowledge. As Sieger grapples with his emerging feelings, he learns that Marc too harbors a similar affection for him, spiralling him into a solitary battle with his own emotions. In an attempt to escape this internal turmoil, Sieger, along with his best friend Stef, unearth a hidden motocross track on the outskirts of their village, a discovery that sets in motion a chain of unforeseen events. Sieger's life further complicates when he finds himself drawn into an unintended relationship with Jessica, a development that finally earns him the elusive recognition from his rebellious older brother, Eddy. Eddy, who has been exploiting the motocross track for his own thrilling moped rides, has been a constant source of conflict with their father since the tragic loss of their mother. While Sieger attempts to reconcile the familial unrest, his mind is relentlessly pulled back to his suppressed emotions for Marc, finding it increasingly challenging to deny the reality of his feelings.
