Synopsis:
Paul, a handsome and talented music student is employed as the page-turner at one of the world famous pianist Kennington's concerts in San Francisco. Not only is Paul diligent but also extremely attractive, a fact noticed by Kennington and his agent Mansourian, two men at the top of their chosen careers. Kennington and Paul meet again in Barcelona, where the boy is on holiday with his mother, Pamela, who is trying to get over her husband leaving her. Paul and Kennington fall in love but this has very different implications for both men. Kennington rushes back home escaping from commitment. Pamela, meanwhile, begins to recover her self-confidence but Paul is no longer a child. Back in the United States Paul learns that his musical career is not going to progress as desired; he simply is not talented enough. Paul and Pamela will learn through their living experience how to build a deeper relationship.
Reviews:
"Very enjoyable and sincere effort to describe the thoughts and feelings
associated with a young man's awakening sexuality and coming out as a gay man.
Interesting and true parallels within the psychology used in the screen writing regarding the fact that the participants ie mother. lover, aquaintances and the young man; all 'know' about, and are aware of their individual 'problems', but cannot deal with these 'problems' until they help each to other bring them into the open.
Whether this be the young man's acceptance and expression of his homosexuality, or the mother's discovery and acknowledging of this; or the young man's realisation that he will not be pursueing a dreamt-of carreer and of his realisation of the existence of the relationship that the object of his desire is already in.
The point being that we always 'know' but are unable to admit these kinds of situations and circumstances in our lives until we assist each other (supportively) to name, own and accept the matters. Then we can relate to each other and go on to live, be real and be contented, happy and find peace with ourselves and with each other.
Kevin Bishop as the young gay man, is very good at expressing the passions and frustrations that he and so many other gay men go through at that age and stage of their lives.
Not that this movie is heavy on the message, or in any particular way dark. In fact I found it to be a 'feel good' movie. They have their difficulties, but work on them, so you have the sense that they will get through together in the end.
I must say that he is also a very good looking man, but this does not distract from the sincerity of his acting performance. Nor does it give any impression that he is being used, or using the older men with whom he has sexual/emotional relations. On the other hand the older men are attracted to him for his looks, talents, and pleasantness of manner; while he is attracted to the older men for their support,assistance and encouragement of his career, and no doubt their experience and worldly sophistication. An entirely believable set of relationships. After all, if you are 18 years of age, then just about everyone that you meet or make love too is going to be older than you are.
These gay men are generally good for and to each other, and neither shallow or selfish about their dealings with each other. The way it really is with the majority of reasonably mature and caring individuals.
Thank you to the director, writers, and cast. Well done."

What a beautiful movie! The acting was wonderful, the characters believable, and the musical score really supported each scene.

[@ulfutstrand]

...the best movie ive seen in a very long time.

[@teogrigoriadis7361]

THIS MOVIE IS A GOOD LESSON FOR ALL THE YOUNG MANS....

[@drunk1998]

so glad it came back on YT, one of the best movie of the century, love K. Bishop

[@chrisbornman5460]

Awesome movie. Striking though that Alexander Malofeev, a russian concert pianist aged 21, has never since 8 years old required sheet music whilst doing a concert, even Rachmaninoff. They are so far ahead of us

[@kobusgrove985]

The movie, the music, the actors...the everything resonated with my soul.

[@jeremypeirson6840]

Captivating. Compelling. Ends too soon.

[@celestialcircledance]

This movie should have been called " The page Turner." and I'm glad he and his poor mom finally shared a nice moment at the end !

[@Donnie-hf5du]

Your telling the producer to rename the film. Weird.....

[@GabrielCastro-h4z]

Amazing!!!!...Amazing!!!!

[@donpM.A.D.4412]

Just outstanding 👏 paul a great actor 😊 and of course the rest of the cast as well make more of these❤🎉😅.. (from Connecticut).

[@sebastianalanboyd7131]

Wish Paul would fall for Teddy. That would be a lovely ending ❤

[@johannolivier786]

Good movie. I am sure very relatable for some. Acting believable.❤

[@jorgehmendes]

beautiful film set in Spain, romance, interesting, elegant drama. Men suffer when these dilemmas arise in their love lives, generally due to social constructs, similar to those discussed in the book The Second Sex by Simone Beauvoir.

[@anealson1807]

I like the "page boy ". I wish he were here with me.

[@liguten]

Très beau film, d'une criante réalité de la vie.

[@fernandojaqueg4216]

Creo que Richard y Paul estaban enamorados. Los amiguitos de Paul fueron unos tíos muy pillos.

[@marcellobomfim5629]

It is a beautiful movie, but what I understand is why KZbin like Amazon take away all the naked parts. It is weird for there are a lot videos here that shows nudity. Back and front… It is silly…

[@henkdolman8809]

Jammer You Tube, te vaak en te veel commercial, ze verpesten de film

[@michaelrg3836]

Get KZbin premium, it is worth every cent!

[@trudakeane165]

The soundtrack interruptions were just so irritating! Chris Australia

[@nikkster01]

surely by now someone would have come up with a computerized screen thing to do this?

[@simplybeautiful4117]

I should have known

[@danilolorenzetti712]

Really, what a disappointing movie

[@NYCBIGAPPLE]

The mother's voice was annoying & went right along with her silly/airhead/intrusive persona. The only time i was able to stomach her was at the end. (lol)

[@beverlylawyer9692]

I Out

[@richarddecicco3288]

Very Disjointed movie and most of it made little sense and left me with more questions than answers. Ridiculous overall
