North Sea Texas Trailer (2012)

Trailer for North Sea Texas.

A lonely gay adolescent suffers the pangs of unrequited love in this poignantly rendered coming-of-ager. The narrative unfolds in a small town on the Belgian coast in the late 1960s and 70s, where introverted dreamer Pim grows up accustomed to neglect from his selfish mother Yvette and petty humiliation from her putative boyfriend Etienne. Pim eventually finds succor at the home of Yvette’s co-worker Marcella where he hero-worships her older son, Gino. Meanwhile, Marcella’s daughter Sabrina obviously longs for his attention. Friendship grows into love when Gino, cautioning Pim to secrecy, supplies the besotted boy’s first sexual experiences. But when Gino begins a relationship with a French girl, jealous Pim focuses his wistful romantic fantasies on Zoltan, the hunky itinerant fun-fair worker who comes to board at his house.
