Selected at the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes along with Eric Khoo's "Be With Me", "Cold Showers" is a sensible coming-of-age story. It tracks three months of change between three people: Mickael the judo team captain, his voluptuous girlfriend Vanessa and good friend Clement.

On the road from adolescence to adulthood: sex in a threesome, jealousy, rivalry and discipline in sports, and the poor versus the rich.

Yes, you didn't read it wrongly. A threesome sex - how did it occur, why, rationale, I do not quite understand. What goes behind it is not well explained. Similar with other themes. Too many issues to be dealt with within in the time span. I am glad though it didn't turn out to be soft porn only suitable guys at Yang Tze.

I left the cinema full of question in my mind. Then I asked myself if there was a need to answer them. Probably no.

Cold Showers – Three's a plenty, One is fine.
