NORTH SEA, TEXAS

NORTH SEA, TEXAS
Belgium, 2011, 96 min., Dutch with English subtitles
Teenage boy Pim lives with his mother in a rundown house on a dead-end street on the Belgian coast. As a kid, Pim dreamt of a better life, imagining princesses and beauty queens, but when he turns 16, he dreams of Gino, the boy next door, instead. Ever since they were children, there has been a simmering sexual tension between them. The sensitive and lonely Pim often flees to his dream world to avoid the mockery, humiliations and tiny bits of hope that make up his life. But dreams never come true. Or do they?
