Douches Froides
Cold Showers
In a bold and sensual rendering of the coming-of-age story, Antony Cordier
turns up the heat with his exploration of newly awakened sexuality and its unexpected emotional consequences. With refreshing
sobriety he packs several punches in this unflinching look at the pressures and confusions facing a seventeen-year-old high
school athlete. Intense judo competition, an explicitly sexual love triangle, college examinations, a drunk father and a penny-pinching
mother all weigh on Mickael, as he comes ultimately to understand that it is only through transformation that we come to know
ourselves.
