Andrea Tessine’s observation and expression of young people is extremely accurate. The emotional wrestling between the two boys, fear, loneliness, perplexity, desire, and attraction, is like a brightly colored cocktail, which is obviously an unreasonable match, but Mix a charming temperament. Andrea Tessine used only two shots to show Damian's clear emotions for Tom. The cave exchanged a cigarette between his fingers while hiding from the rain, and he stared at Tom's naked body by the lake on the top of the mountain. The development of this emotional transition is very wonderful, the previous emotions have been accumulated enough, the transition is entirely reasonable, and there is a destined romance. Some gay viewers said that this passage is not true, but it is beautiful, the kind of beauty that we can hardly encounter in life and can only be encountered in literary works. The 72-year-old Tessine did indeed express his return to innocence. At the age of 17 he was 17 years old, with hazy emotions and a bit reckless and naive. The director restored it in this way, never imposing his own "experience of people over the past half-century". This alone is worthy of recognition

Compared with other movies with similar themes, this film has a broader vision and richer levels. It directly presents a bitter past of several young people in a completely unexpected way. In this film, with the rich scene changes, Tessine's skill is brought into full play again. The film sets the background of the story in the Pyrenees, where heavy snow, hail, heavy rain, and thick fog create an almost fabulous feeling. The changes in the four seasons of nature are closely linked to the story and move forward. The film is divided into three chapters in structure, from winter to summer, spanning two semesters. The constantly changing soundtrack is the node that divides the chapters, so that the audience can have time to breathe. Alexis Lasout’s music is full of a warm and caressing effect, and the music of Burkina Faso composer Victor Demi also adds a lot to the film
.
The film allows people to see the Tessine at its peak. The fire is everywhere, and the film's description of the characters' emotions, desires and self-understanding is unforgettable
