MOVIE
Set in the 1930s, Simon Chalumet finds himself at a military academy, pushed there by his domineering father, a former soldier with little understanding of Simon's sensitive nature or his passion for cinema. As Simon navigates the rigid environment, he struggles to reconcile his father's expectations with his own identity, grappling with the pressures of masculinity and the desire to express himself creatively. The tension between father and son highlights the challenges of growing up in a world that often dismisses gentleness in favor of rigid ideals of strength.
