GFF A Kid (Le Fils de Jean)

Stranger by the Lake’s Pierre Deladonchamps stars in this thoughtful family drama from Welcome director Philippe Lioret. Mathieu (Deladonchamps) receives a phone call informing him of the death of the father he never knew. He travels from Paris to Montreal to meet his two half brothers, becoming a reluctant witness to sibling conflict and guilty secrets. What develops is a subtle exploration of the way men tend to guard their emotions and women are always left to pick up the pieces. A fantastic cast includes Canadian great Gabriel Arcand, brother of director Denys Arcand.
