(2024, France, 110')
Pierre raises his two sons alone. Louis, the younger one, excels in his studies and progresses easily in life. Fus, the older one, becomes increasingly withdrawn and gradually becomes fascinated by violence and power dynamics, gravitating towards far-right extremist groups that oppose his father’s values. Pierre helplessly watches the influence these associations have on his son, and the love between them is increasingly replaced by misunderstanding… A story of family, political convictions, shame.
