Coming-of-age tale chronicling straight and queer desire in millennial Montreal from writer-director Philippe Lesage (The Demons).
"Writer-director Philippe Lesage (Les Démons, NZIFF16) returns to the autobiographical well boarding school student Guillaume (Théodore Pellerin) who oozes insouciance as he harasses teachers and students alike, only to find himself confronted by unexpected desires. Meanwhile, his older half-sister Charlotte (Noée Abita) navigates her own passions in the ostensibly adult world, experiencing first-hand the entire spectrum of toxic masculinity." (New Zealand International Film Festival)
