As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children -- a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts. While they often act out to relieve one another's pain, their game might be a way to avoid the fact that they are truly meant for one another.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
it is what you want. a modern fairy tale, expression of the Peter Pan syndrome, a game, a preservation form of time in the skin of an only age. but, more important, it is a revelation. about the lead actors and the chemistry between themes, about the director and his admirable art to define the small details light, for the story itself , seductive, cruel, touching, naive, lovely. a film about friendship. or a homage to the friendship. important is the state of viewer after the end of final credits. that state is the authentic proof of the special form of magic of this beautiful film.
Julien and Sophie could be the perfect couple, if only they could figure out how to express their true feelings.These two tend to have no regard for anyone but themselves, they are dirty, crazy, and wonderful. The characters in this movie are unique, but their unfortunate situations are not. As children, the relationship they develop is as innocent as the "game" they play. Truth or dare. The film illustrates how the events from their childhood continue to affect their lives into adulthood. They are always at odds with the attraction that they have for one another. This leads them to the psychopathic tendencies which makes this movie intriguing, interesting, and without a doubt, one of my favorites.
This movie is painfully romantic ... very painful ... and very romantic.Firstly, I can really understand the famous critic Roger Ebert, when he describes the story as frustrating, and the characters as impossible to relate to. This is not how love should be: obsessive and self-destructive.However movies, do not have to reflect perfect life, or perfect love, but show us the extremes, how it turns out, if one would follow a path to the end without compromise, or play a game, and don't stop playing it. Also I believe the movie does contain more truth, then one would admit: Aren't things like the past, or pride, standing in the way of truly loving a person?Without spoiling, I can say the movie consists of three parts.The First part, is thoroughly innocent, and adorable, it tells one of the sweetest cinematic love stories, i have seen.Second part, the story gets more twisted, there is also more comedy, still one would not guess what awaits in the third part.Let me say this, without actually mentioning what happens in the end: I think there are 2 ways of loving, 1. to live happily with your loved one, and 2. to express how much you love, your loved one, no matter what. Which one is more important? Maybe sometimes the second ...
Thus, a typical European artistic film... Directing and photography are OK, actors are good, the rather artificial plot has some interesting twists - but it is not the film giving you background thoughts or that you would like to see again later. The characters are no role models either, besides, such types of persons would never "grow up" or have children... It seems that the makers wanted to create something very different and quaint, so much non-Hollywood, that they somehow forgot about an average audience. But the world is full of sophisticated films for only a few thousands of happy viewers...5 points from me as I did not expect much either, the result was even slightly better than I expected... And the film is not lengthy.
