As a kid at the end of the Sixties Pim dreams of a better life, imagining princesses and beauty queens. But when Pim turns 15 he dreams of Gino, the boy next door, instead. Ever since they were children there has been this tension between them. Now Gino is Pim’s motorcycling hero. Cold mockery, little humiliations and tiny bits of hope make up Pim’s life. No wonder he sometimes fl ees to his dream world.Then one day his mother leaves with young, hunky Zoltan, the boy from the fair. When she leaves her son alone in the empty house, Pim seizes the opportunity and his dreams become half-truths. Pim moves to the neighbours’ house to live with Marcella, his ‘second mum’. And with Sabrina, Gino’s sister, who circles longingly around Pim. He even sleeps in Gino’s bed! But Gino’s off romancing and living with a girl from across the border.Dreams never come true. Or do they? On a rainy day Gino returns...
ABOUT BAVO DEFURNE Born in 1971 and a graduate of the St Lukas Art School in Brussels, artist, photographer and fi lmmaker Bavo Defurne worked as assistant director on experimental fi lmmaker Matthias Mueller’s shorts Alpsee (1995) and Pensão Globo (1997) and as a set decorator on many fi lms, including Peter Greenaway’s The Baby of Macon (1993).Then he established himself as an exciting new talent with a sequence of critically acclaimed award winning shorts. He was praised for shorts such as Particularly Now, In Spring (1995), Saint (1997), Sailor (1998) and Campfi re (1999). They examine his regular themes of gay love and loss, the body, the power of nature and silence. North Sea Texas is his debut feature.www.bavo.org
