question about Patrick


I'm guessing he was in his early 20's, but was he a virgin? He was reluctant to have sex with his fiancé Astrid. Then he allows that Italian guy to kiss him. So I'm wondering if he realized he was bi or just not ready to settle down. The plot leaves you hanging. I'm glad Astrid acted hurt and angry, instead of being OK with having her big day ruined. It's more realistic.

None of it is clear, of course. I got the impression that he and Astrid had had sex before. She told her mom he hadn't touched her since they'd been in Italy, implying that perhaps he had before that. And I suspect he's gay rather than bi, and had just been in denial, unwilling to face it, maybe even willing to suppress it and live relatively happily with Astrid, whom he did seem to love on some level, until he met Alessandro. Again, just my interpretation!

Youre interpretation is right.

Also remember the talk between Patrick and his father on the beach. Patrick tryed a lot to make the right things for beeing loved by hi father. I think that was another reason to not accept his own sexuality.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew he was gay from the beginning of Italy. Why you would give up a hot piece of ass like that would be for one reason
