Synopsis
Thomas, a 22-year-old heroin user, joins a community of former substance abusers who live isolated in the French Alps and use prayer and hard labor to cure themselves. At first reluctant, Thomas gradually submits himself to a life of discipline—but finds himself distracted by a local girl.
Editorial
Premiering in competition at the Berlinale, this drama of physical and spiritual reform from Red Lights director Cédric Kahn features an astounding performance from lead Anthony Bajon. His presence anchors this bracing inquiry into how Catholicism, community, and love can impact personal reform.
