Drama

Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of crossing boundaries against his best friend at elementary school. While no one knows what actually happened between the two boys, the incident triggers a series of events, forcing parents and school staff into a captivating battle of redemption where madness, desire and obsession arise.

VIBE

This is a taut, unsettling psychological drama that slowly unravels a web of moral ambiguity and parental anxieties. It feels claustrophobic and intense, delving into the dark corners of human obsession and the elusive nature of truth. Expect a thought-provoking, character-driven experience that lingers long after the credits.
