Class Trip (La Classe de Neige) 

Year: 1998
Country: France
Director: Claude Miller
Starring: Clément van den Bergh, Lokman Nalcakan, François Roy, Yves Verhoeven, Emmanuelle Bercot
Synopsis: A boy gets to escape his overprotective father on a class trip to a ski resort, where he tries to get close to a classmate who seems to return his affections.
Quick review: This is another in the Tales from the Orphanage series of boys coming of age. Nicholas is a troubled teen, and most of his problems trace back to his overprotective father. When Nicholas' school sends his class to a ski resort, the father refuses to allow a bus driver he doesn't know to take his son up the slippery mountain roads. When Nicholas finally arrives he and Hodkann continue to build an unlikely friendship. Hodkann is the class bully and troublemaker. Because Nicholas has been set apart from everyone else by his father, you would expect him to be a target of the bullying. Instead, there seems to be a connection that goes beyond friendship but the boys are probably too young for it to manifest as something more just yet. The plot takes some serious turns when a young boy in a town near the mountain resort is missing. The trailer for this film misleads the viewer. It shows many of the fantasies sequences that go through the mind of Nicholas, but are not part of the overall story. This film has more substance than just another coming-of-age drama and even if you see the plot twists coming, don't make it any less enjoyable an experience.
