Birth of a Leader

Last night, Brokeback Mountain aired on TV, Vincent watched it and found himself emotionally compelled by the story. Whilst chatting with a classmate in the school toilets, he takes advantage of the break to describe the film as only an adolescent can.

Joseph and his two sons, Joachim and Ivan, form a close-knit family but fail to see that each one is losing control of his life. Joachim is supposed to be studying psychiatry but spends most of his time daydreaming about his ex-girlfriend, Ivan cannot fit in at school despite being very smart, and Joseph has secretly quit his job as a doctor and is trying to become a writer. While there is plenty of affection at home, all three are also, clumsily, searching for love...

An actor who enjoyed success in his youth finds his career and life in a downward spiral as he gets older.

Joachim comes back in his family after a heartache. In spite of the excessive tenderness of his parents and his sensation of strangeness, he learns to desire to live again thanks to his friend Allan, his potential new love Esther, and all the pretty girls randomly crossed.
