“A picture which is intimate in scope but which packs a considerable emotional wallop.” – Wendy Ide, Screen International
Léo and Rémi are two thirteen-year-old best friends, whose seemingly unbreakable bond is suddenly, tragically torn apart. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Director Lukas Dhont carefully and thoughtfully examines physical and emotional closeness between boys, and the role of fragility in masculinity, in this touching portrait of friendship, heartbreak, and healing.
