Initially sceptical about this film as a subject for study as I knew it was mainly filmed in Barcelona , I was struck by how contemporary it felt and how well it fitted into the student perspective of a world of gap years and communal living in flats in exotic destinations. Xavier plays a student on the Erasmus programme gaining experience abroad by learning Spanish inorder to gain a well paid job with an acquaintance of his father. The film traces the way students interact with each other, falling in and out of love, helping each other cope with precarious amorous situations. Despite the French language being relatively side-lined at times, the film has plenty of relationship related thematic content for discussion and the dénouement when Xavier decides what he will do with his life is interesting if not that surprising. It is also useful to witness a time, only 10 years ago, when young people are not yet completely comfortable with homosexuality. These materials will enable you to keep your lesson content in French despite the fact that many parts of the film itself are in English or to a lesser extent Spanish.
