“Some stories are too dangerous to tell.”

DramaRomance

For his French-class assignment, a high school student weaves his family history in a news story involving terrorism, and goes on to invite an Internet audience in on the resulting controversy.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective drama that slowly unravels a complex family tragedy. It feels like sifting through old photographs, piecing together fragmented memories and confronting uncomfortable truths with a lingering sense of melancholy.
