This documentary is a very tightly focused piece, as it looks at the death of Alexandre Lezzi, and the impact that had on the group of friends within his community. In the film we learn a little bit about Lezzi's impact on the group, and also come to understand how they survived the loss of such a person.
As you may imagine the film is very much a personal one to those involved on the screen (and probably in some key roles behind the camera too I would guess). In doing this it must be said the film is actually very good at what it does, because it does serve the precipitants well in how it lets them talk about their friend, their feelings, and the lessons/decisions that they take moving forward with their own lives. The problem with the film is that it doesn't throw that open to the casual viewer as well as it probably thinks it does. The first section of the film is a bit too general n the way it introduces Lezzi – it mostly avoids totally empty statements, but at the same time it doesn't really tell the viewer why this individual out of all individuals is subject of the film; again, as a piece for those that knew him it is fine, but for the casual viewer it is probably longer than needed to be.
The second half of the film opens it out a bit more to be about the spirit of the group to carry on. In this bit you can feel the emotion behind the statements, however being detached as a viewer, it does feel rather generic in terms of the contributions (you can guess, mostly about living each day to the full for Lezzi, how Lezzi is still with them, etc). Being older and bitter, it is also easy to imagine that many of these statements coming from older teens are fairly fleeting feelings that even the passage of a year will erode. Harsh perhaps, but again this is a film that really does a great job of serving the bereaved, but doesn't offer a great deal for the casual viewer.
