It refers to the first letter of the first names of five brothers born in Montreal in the sixties . The movie tells their stories but focuses mostly on the fourth boy, who display early on, a sensitivity that is unusual for a little boy. As a child he is very close to his father, but as soon as the dad starts having doubts about his son&#8217;s sexual preferences, their relationship sours. From then on the boy pursues two goals: to regain his father&#8217;s affection and to find himself.<br \/>\nThe actors are very powerful! The scenario is both touching and full of humor&#8230; The recreation of life here in the 60s and 70s is effective beyond belief: the Christmas parties especially will bring back memories for an entire generation&#8230;but mostly it is the attitudes and prejudices towards homosexuality that make the boy&#8217;s plight all the more poignant. His path is neither smooth nor linear, and that is what makes it more believable.<br \/>\nI enjoyed the sound track: starting with &#8220;Crazy&#8221; by Patsy Cline of course, but also a couple of classics by Charles Aznavour that brougth back many memories&#8230;<br \/>\nI enjoyed this film and recommend it to anyone who grew up here in the 60s and 70s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the title of a movie that just came out.
