The cinematography and music perfectly accompany the drama. Although it is isn't a high budget film, it doesn't detract from the experience at all. The acting in 'Jongens' is amazingly natural and believable. I never saw such an accurate portrayal of how it felt to fall in love when I was around fifteen years old myself. Out of the gay 'coming-of-age' stories I have seen, this one hit home the hardest for me. Sieger tries to make peace between the two, but his mind is elsewhere, as he finds it increasingly difficult to deny his feelings for Marc. Sieger keeps quiet about this to his father, who often clashes with the rebellious Eddy since their mother's death. At last, he counts for something in the eyes of his tough older brother Eddy, who is secretly using the track to tear around on a moped. Events soon take on a momentum of their own as Sieger quickly becomes involved with Jessica. With his best friend Stef, Sieger discovers a motocross track outside the village. He engages in a lonely struggle with himself when it emerges that Marc is also in love with him.
The friendship that develops seems nothing out of the ordinary, but Sieger secretly harbours stronger feelings for Marc. Sieger is training in the new athletics team for the national relay championships and meets the intriguing and unpredictable Marc. BOYS tells the story of Sieger, a sporty, rather quiet 15-year-old boy who discovers love during the summer holidays.
