Winter Boy

PRIDE ON SCREEN. Set over the course of one winter, arguably best film to date from acclaimed writer/director Christophe Honoré (Sorry Angel) follows a young man on the cusp of adulthood who, after being sent reeling by an unexpected loss, looks for comfort in all the wrong places.
17-year-old Lucas (newcomer Paul Kircher) is drifting through his final year of boarding school, blithely passing time with his boyfriend, but mostly looking forward to following his older brother Quentin (Vincent Lacoste) to Paris. An accident unexpectedly strips away everything Lucas has taken for granted, filling him with an anger that his teenage self can’t begin to articulate. His mother Isabelle (a magnificent Juliette Binoche) is unable to find the means to console him, so Lucas heads to the city to spend a week with Quentin and his flatmate.
WINNER - 2022 SAN SEBASTIÁN FILM FESTIVAL - Best Actor
“Moving, provocative, emotionally and stylistically rich. A tremendous, absolutely magnetic debut from young actor Paul Kircher - this is surely a star-is-born moment - and Binoche is superb.” - Screen International
