The most recent film by novelist, playwright, filmmaker Christophe Honoré (On A Magical Night, Beloved, Love Songs) is an autobiographical film about a high school student, telling his own story as he struggles to make sense of things, discovers himself, as if thinking out loud. Set over the course of one winter, the film follows 17-year-old Lucas, when his teenage world is suddenly shattered upon a tragedy. 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 now has to fight to rediscover hope and love. Christophe Honoré, who also plays the father in the film, says: ‘Maybe this is what the film is all about – how to turn tragedy into a joyful form of sorrow. This is why I think that the film is first and foremost a love story, not a melodrama, but a film that hopes for love.’

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
