LE PARADIS

THE LOST BOYS
by Zeno Graton
Country: Belgium
Year: 2023
Duration: 83'


In a youth detention centre, Joe is preparing to go back into society, not knowing what life will be like on the other side. However, when the new boy, William, is transferred to the cell beside him, Joe's desire for freedom quickly turns into a different kind of craving. Working together during lessons of photography, drawing, dancing and rap, Joe and William undertake a two-way journey. A journey of emotional and expressive emancipation, which will lead them to increasingly revolve around each other. Because, behind those walls, passion outweighs the desire for freedom.
