Geez... What a depressing movie. If it's not for the love between Olivier & Hicham, I wouldn't finish watching this movie at all. These scenes are among the less depressing scenes in the movies. They're the memories of the beautiful love of Olivier & Hicham. They're no longer together when we're watching these scenes. If you're not familiar with gay sex, watch out for the beautiful/highly erotic shaving scene that is unique about gay sex. Just think about how gross it would be if a guy were to ask if he could shave his girl friend's ass!!! I also love the scene where they were riding the scooter. Imagine how hot it would be to rest your head on your boyfriend's back/shoulder, or vice versa, feeling your boyfriend's head resting on your back/shoulder... It is actually one of my teenage fantasies back in the old country where it was relatively safe to ride scooters on the streets.
