“Vente chaud” is a 2020 French short film that follows the story of two teenage boys, Youssef and Julien, who come from different backgrounds but share a hidden emotional connection. Set in the suburbs of France, the film explores themes of identity, desire, and secrecy.

Youssef, a young man of North African descent, works at a local barbershop where he tries to navigate the expectations of his culture and family. Julien, a white French boy, enters the shop one day, and the two quickly form a subtle, unspoken bond.

As their encounters continue, the tension between them grows — not only from their personal feelings but also from the fear of being judged or outed. Their mutual attraction is portrayed with sensitivity and emotional depth.

The film uses silence, glances, and body language more than dialogue to show the complexity of their emotions. It captures the struggles of queer youth in a conservative or judgmental environment.

In the end, “Vente chaud” leaves many questions open, emphasizing the vulnerability and uncertainty that often comes with young queer love. The film is praised for its realism, powerful acting, and honest depiction of longing and restraint.
