00:05You're on Flashback Recap. Let's dive in.
00:07At the start of the movie, Andre lounges casually on a couch at a buzzing party,
00:11his eyes drawn to Ramona, who's swaying to the music nearby.
00:15He hesitates, wondering how to strike up a conversation.
00:18His friend Silou gives him a playful shove, handing him a banana with a grin,
00:22signaling Andre to make a move.
00:24With a small burst of confidence, Andre steps onto the dance floor,
00:27then quickly excuses himself to head to the bathroom.
00:30Once inside, Andre is met with an unpleasant surprise in the toilet,
00:34instantly killing his urge to pee. When he returns, Ramona is waiting,
00:38but before they can get far into their conversation,
00:41another guest loudly shares Andre's bathroom discovery with the entire party.
00:45Trying to salvage the moment, Andre flashes a grin and jokes,
00:49well folks, that might go down as the crappiest first date ever.
00:52A few days later at another party, Andre finds himself back on the couch
00:56with Silou and their friend Alan. They egg him on,
00:59pushing him to give things with Ramona another shot.
01:02With their encouragement, Andre gathers his nerve and steps onto the dance floor.
01:06As she casually chats with her friends about how she'd never date a virgin,
01:09she eventually spots Andre's bold attempt and starts dancing with him.
01:13Ramona and Andre find a private moment together where emotions run high.
01:18In the midst of their connection, Andre opens up,
01:20sharing his feelings and his hope for an honest, meaningful relationship.
01:24Ramona, caught off guard by his vulnerability, reacts angrily,
01:28quickly leaving the room and leaving Andre alone, confused.
01:31The following day, Silou and Alan aren't shy about letting Andre know he messed up with Ramona.
01:37Soon after, Silou starts dating her, and Andre can't shake the feeling it's out of spite.
01:43Their frustration boils over into a heated argument,
01:45with Silou landing a punch that knocks Andre out.
01:48Seeking a reset, Andre heads on a vacation with his mom,
01:52where he crosses paths with Anamona, the blonde receptionist at their hostel.
01:57They stroll along the beach, chatting about various things.
01:59During the conversation, Anam casually mentions she has a boyfriend, but that doesn't stop Andre.
02:05Caught up in the moment with a song playing in the background, they briefly share a kiss.
02:10They end up spending the night together in her room.
02:13The next day, Andre, looking sharp and hopeful,
02:16finds out Anam lost her job because of their fling,
02:19and to make things worse, her boyfriend is on his way, crushing any chances of something more.
02:25On his way home, Andre's phone buzzes with a troubling message from Ramona,
02:28accusing Silou of hurting her.
02:30Panic sets in, and he hurries over to her place.
02:33But instead of finding clarity, the situation escalates into an argument,
02:37with Ramona threatening to call the police if he doesn't leave.
02:40The next day at school, Andre is met with cold stares and resentment,
02:44as rumors based on Ramona's lies spread quickly.
02:47At home, Andre's mom hints that Ramona might still have feelings for him.
02:51Intrigued, Andre tracks down Anam's contact at the hostel,
02:55using the excuse that he came across her wallet.
02:58He calls her, and they agree to meet for coffee.
03:00They enjoy the evening together, and after a few fun adventures,
03:04they find themselves in a bathroom, only to be unexpectedly interrupted by a bouncer.
03:09When Andre openly admits what they were up to, the bouncer responds with a punch.
03:14The following morning, as Andre showers, he casually asks Anam about her relationship.
03:19She makes it clear she has no plans to break up.
03:23As a result, they decide to break up.
03:26Later, Andre attempts to hitch a ride, standing roadside in just a towel.
03:31Back at school, he finds out Ramona has been spreading rumors that he's gay,
03:36and involved with Alan.
03:38The next day, he hangs out with Carla, the only one who still trusts him.
03:44They smoke together, and later get intimate.
03:46Carla showers while Andre, still flustered, quickly leaves the room.
03:50The following morning, Alan, concerned about how the rumors might impact Andre's reputation,
03:56confronts him.
03:57Together, they come up with a strategy for Andre to pursue Ramona.
04:01The next day, sporting a new look that attracts many girls,
04:05Andre encounters Ramona in a cafe.
04:09Bolstered by his new appearance, he approaches her,
04:12inviting her to watch Netflix, and plans a soft kiss on her lips.
04:16At school, Ramona clings to him all day, overwhelming him.
04:20He seeks advice from Alan, and they plot revenge on Silvio.
04:24They plant flowers and a note on Carla's desk, impersonating Silvio's interest in her.
04:30Carla, elated, accepts publicly.
04:33But Silvio's harsh rejection and mockery of her appearance
04:36lead to her disclosing their past intimacy and physically confronting him,
04:41shocking their classmates.
04:43That night, Andre and Ramona find solitude on a church rooftop,
04:47sharing wine and reconciling.
04:50They exchange passionate kisses, and Andre suggests going to her place.
04:55Despite her initial reluctance and comparisons to other guys,
05:00Andre's reassurances lead them to her home.
05:02As they kiss, before things progress, Andre states nothing will happen that night,
05:09leading Ramona to bite his finger.
05:11The next morning, Ramona apologizes and expresses her desire to be his girlfriend.
05:17They decide to commit to a serious relationship.
05:20Walking together later, Andre's chat with Anona, who is in town,
05:24prompts him to excuse himself and meet her, introducing her to his mom at his house.
05:29Ramona calls later, inquiring about his whereabouts and proposing an outing,
05:34but Andre declines.
05:36She suggests another night.
