The Best Feature award winner at Montreal’s Festival du Nouveau Cinéma, this narrative-feature debut is an atmospheric thriller about the heightened anxieties of a young boy in 1980s suburban Montreal, inspired by the director’s own childhood. Nine-year-old Felix is terrified of almost everything – a terror fuelled by his isolation from the adult world as his parents deal with their own dramas.
