Heartwarming Coming of Age Story

There are times one feels emotionally lost and unheard like Lucas in the Le Lyceen/Winter Boy by Christophe Honore. The movie is a slow burner yet beautiful, takes us to the world of 17-years old boarding school student struggling through the loss of his father as well as his inner world which seemingly complex and in dire need of guidance and tender. The family is so much focused on the appearances, and thus turns a blind eye to the inner screams of Lucas, played by Paul Kircher who is a real gem of this movie. Vincent Lacoste, Juliette Binoche, and Erwan Kepoa Fale are also excellent. Strongly recommended.
