Les garçons et Guillaume, à table!

Nov 20 2013 TV-MA 1h 25m
Comedy

How to become a man when your mother and your closed circle have decided otherwise? This is the challenge Guillaume took up. The film recounts Guillaume's tragicomic battle from the young age of eight, as he adopts the role of a girl then of a homosexual... until, aged 30, he meets the woman who, after his mother, will become the other woman in his life. Beyond this story of a heterosexual coming-out, the film tells the tale of an actor who never stopped loving women, maybe even a little too much.

Plot

Mrs. Gallienne, a rather temperamental upper-middle-class lady, has three children, two of whom she considers her sons and another she calls Guillaume. Logically indeed, the latter teenage creature does not picture himself as a boy, rather as a girl or at best as a homosexual. But how can a mother act in such an objectionable way? And why? Through a series of painful experiences, Guillaume will discover little by little who he is actually and will manage to break free from her pernicious influence.
