That stupid boy is Loïc. He who confuses desire and pleasure, friendship and sex, admiration and success. Loïc, who tries to compensate for what life failed to bestow on him before he grows up. Loïc, who will sleep with anybody, any way. Loïc, who loves Marie too much, or too little. Loïc, who tries to find someone to look up to in the person of Rui, the football player. Loïc is not a stupid boy. One day, he will also try to put together a story.

Il ragazzo stupido si chiama Loïc. Loïc, che confonde il desiderio e il divertimento, l’amicizia e la sessualità, l’ammirazione e il successo. Loïc che cerca quello che la vita ha dimenticato di lasciargli prima dell’età adulta. Loïc che va a letto con tutti, non importa dove e come. Loïc che vuole troppo bene a Marie, o non abbastanza. Loïc che fa del calciatore Rui il proprio idolo. Loïc non è un ragazzo stupido. Un giorno proverà anche lui a costruirsi una storia.
