Drama

Lucas is a 17-year-old gay teenager coping with the sudden and unexpected death of his father in an accident that may or may not have been suicide. He views his life as a wild animal in need of taming. Between a brother settled in Paris and a mother with whom he now lives alone, Lucas will have to fight to rediscover hope and love.

VIBE

A tender, quiet exploration of adolescent grief and self-discovery. It feels like a hushed confession, a raw look at navigating loss and burgeoning identity through a sensitive, naturalistic lens. A deeply personal journey.
