Enzo (French)

16-year-old Enzo has everything: a sun-drenched luxury home overlooking the Mediterranean, loving parents, and a future mapped toward privilege. Yet something unnameable pulls him to a different path, and he commences a masonry apprenticeship, among people who work not because they choose, but because they have to. On site he meets Vlad, a charismatic Ukrainian labourer who is facing pressure to return and fight in his country’s war against Russia. Vlad’s easy masculinity and uncertain future awaken something in the young man: he’s everything Enzo wishes he was. As their unlikely friendship deepens, Enzo will be forced to confront questions bigger than desire: about class, about duty, and about true courage.
