A magnificent movie, beautiful and moving

PLOT: Kosuke, a gay man (ostracized as a child and deeply affected by his mother's death), has built a tough armor in the Tokyo fashion scene. He meets Ryuta, a young man who works as a personal trainer to help him stay in shape. They fall in love. However, he discovers that Ryuta is working multiple jobs to support his mother, even resorting to prostitution. He helps Ryuta leave prostitution, meets Ryuta's mother, but Ryuta is working himself to death [literally]. Kosuke continues to care for Ryuta's mother.

+++ The three actors, Suzuki Ryohei (Kosuke), Miyazawa Hio (Ryuta), and Agawa Sawako (his mother), are fantastic.
+++ The direction is intelligent and very contemporary. The story is realistic (life for gay people in Japan isn't easy; thankfully, there's support from the community).

### I don't particularly like the camerawork; it makes me uncomfortable at times.

I don't know what the film's message is, but it deals with love, family, and grief, and is overflowing with sensitivity and humanity.

Magnifique film, beau et dur

PLOT: Kosuke, homme gay (ostracisé enfant et ayant bcp souffert de la mort de sa mère) s'est forgé une carapace dans les milieux de la mode à Tokyo. Il rencontre un jeune homme, Ryuta, coach, pr prendre soin de sa forme. Ils tombent amoureux. Cpdt, il découvre que Ryuta fait plein de boulots pr subvenir aux besoins de sa mère, mm se prostitue. Il lui fait quitter la prostitution, rencontre la mère de Ryuta, mais Ryuta se tue à la tâche [littéralement]. Kosuke va continuer à s'occuper de la mère de Ryuta.

+++ Les 3 acteurs, Suzuki Ryohei (Kosuke), Miyazawa Hio (Ryuta) et Agawa Sawako (sa mère) sont fantastiques.
+++ La réalisation est intelligente, très actuelle. La story est réaliste (la vie des gays au Japon n'est pas facile, heureusement qu'il y a le soutien de la communauté).

### Je n'aime pas bcp le travail de la caméra, qui me met mal à l'aise par moments.

=> Je ne sais pas quel est le message de ce film, mais il parle d'amour, de famille, du deuil et déborde de sensibilité et d'humanité.
