Leo and Remi are two thirteen-year-old best friends, whose seemingly unbreakable bond is suddenly, tragically torn apart. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Lukas Dhont's second film is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing.

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film

"Dambrine and De Waele are wonderfully natural, conveying the complexities of youthful experience with impressive directness and poise." New York Times

"The film reminds us that any coming of age is a risky business where finitude and mourning are the only guarantees." Slant Magazine

"What Dhont understands, in short, is how kinetic the rites of passage are—how growing pains are expressed not in words, however therapeutic, but in rushes of activity." New Yorker
