The Son (Le Fils) (12A)

Olivier teaches carpentry to troubled boys in the hope of giving them some direction in their lives. His new apprentice, Francis exudes an air of defiance and disinterest, but is bound to his teacher by a terrible secret. Five years ago, Francis killed Olivier’s son – an act which destroyed the older’s marriage and his sense of self-worth. Together, the two lost souls cling to each other for some meaning.
