Synopsis
The life of Raphaël, a young footballer, is based on a lie: apart from himself, nobody knows that he is homosexual. Those closest to him have no idea. Not even his girlfriend, let alone the team he plays with every day. Unable to express his feelings, Raphaël juggles the work his sport demands with his efforts to keep his secret.
