This movie has nothing to do with America and Texas. The author and director are Belgian. The movie is set in a Flemish seaside town. A quiet young gay boy with a neglectful single mom finds refuge with a neighbor and her children. Yes, it is a coming of age tale, full of innocent love and love lost. The boy protagonist is nearly silent which makes anything he says full of emphasis. The older actor (still only 14 years old) playing him does a good job portraying his growing up.
Here is an excellent interview of the director, Bavo Defurne, about the film.
