Season Review

The narrative centers on the first romantic experience between two teenage boys, Elias and Alexander. The central conflict is internal, focusing on Elias’s journey of self-discovery and the fear of judgment associated with his sexual orientation. The film is a gentle, intimate story where the protagonist's family and community are overwhelmingly quick to accept and celebrate the relationship. The plot relies heavily on the normalization and celebration of an alternative sexuality. Themes of traditional identity politics, civilizational self-hatred, and anti-theism are almost entirely absent, with the film instead celebrating family, courage, and traditional concepts of enduring love through the character of the grandfather. The score is driven by the extreme focus on alternative sexual ideology, while all other categories score very low.

Categorical Breakdown

Identity Politics3/10

The story centers on universal feelings of love and self-discovery within a sexual identity context, not on a lecture about racial privilege, systemic oppression, or intersectional hierarchy. The main characters appear to be of the same background, and the narrative contains no vilification of 'whiteness.'

Oikophobia1/10

The narrative is anchored in the Belgian countryside, which is depicted as an idyllic and wholesome setting. The protagonist's grandfather, a figure representing ancestry and tradition, acts as the moral guide who inspires courage, validating the importance of family and heritage.

Feminism1/10

The core plot focuses on the emotional journey and romance of two teenage male characters. The storyline contains no 'Girl Boss' tropes, no messages that emasculate males, and no rhetoric that denigrates motherhood or family life as a 'prison.'

LGBTQ+9/10

Alternative sexual identity is the entire focus of the narrative, driving all plot and character development. The film is described as a 'wonderful queer love story' intended to offer a model of 'happy homosexual relationships.' Friends and family are depicted as eager to accept and celebrate the new pairing, centering this sexual identity as the most important element of the protagonist's self-discovery.

Anti-Theism2/10

The plot avoids direct commentary on or hostility toward religion. The moral framework is transcendent, with the grandfather teaching the protagonist that love and courage are precious, which acts as an affirmation of an objective moral good rather than subjective 'power dynamics.'
