Matthias & Maxime

Mathias (Gabriel D’Almeida Freitas) and Maxime (Dolan himself) are inseparable childhood friends. A few months before Maxime moves to Australia, the two spend the weekend with childhood friends at the lakeside, while the group spends time drinking, laughing and arguing. As the host’s younger sister is looking for a pair of actors to kiss in her student film, Maxime agrees to her pleas and is joined by Matthias as well. Participating in the short film affects the relationship between the two good friends and forces them to explore their past and also check what they really want from each other.
