Presque rien (meaning Almost Nothing, which is also the UK release title; the U.S. title is Come Undone) is a 2000 French film directed by Sebastien Lifshitz, set in Brittany, depicting a stormy holiday romance between two 18-year-olds and what remains of that relationship eighteen months later.
Upper-middle class Mathieu (Jérémie Elkaïm), is spending his summer vacation on the French coast before beginning studies in the fall to become an architect. His mother is deeply depressed because of the death of his baby brother from cancer, and is cared for by her sister, while Mathieu and his moody younger sister cannot get along.
Then he meets Cedric at the beach (played by Stéphane Rideau, the object of gay desire in several films, including Les roseaux sauvages), who is attractive and obviously looking for a boyfriend. The boys embark on a romance, and Mathieu's sudden secrecy and long hours away from home invite the curiosity of both his sister and aunt.
