********************
“I don’t know what’s happened... But something has. He’s changed.”
17-year-old Nicolas is going through a difficult phase since his parents’ divorce. He’s started lying and become listless, skipping school and locking himself away.
Feeling unable to live with his mother anymore, he moves in with his father and his new family. Maybe that will help? A new school, a fresh start. But what if it doesn’t? What then?
As the family try to navigate Nicolas’s difficulties and his father attempts to reconnect with him, Zeller unflinchingly explores how those suffering often struggle to understand their own inner demons.
A powerful examination of adolescence and the disruptive dynamics of family life.
