SYNOPSIS

Thirteen-year-olds Léo and Rémi are inseparable; best friends, as close as brothers.  However, as they start at a new school, the pressures of burgeoning adolescence challenge their bond with unexpected and far-reaching consequences.  With incredible performances from both the experienced adult cast and newcomers Eden Dambrine and Gustav De Waele, Dhont’s evocative second film is a profoundly moving and powerful coming-of-age story.
