Noé enters 6th grade while discovering a new city and home, to which he has just moved with his father, Marc.The latter coaches him in an intensive combat sports training and keeps him in attack mode: they are in danger, and he must be ready to respond to the slightest aggression. While keeping his “double life” a secret, Noé must try to fit in at his new school. He befriends Marine, an energetic young girl. In his home at the edge of the forest, Noé will learn what a stranger his father really is and help himget rid of his demons: thus the protector becomes the protected as their relationship is reversed. Here, Frédéric Balekdjian is a true genre-filmmaker. Uneasiness quickly sets in, in this emotional and effective suspense film with a noir thriller feel. As the somber, borderline father, Edouard Baer gives a risky, yet successful performance, quite outside his typecast roles. Child’s eye view camerawork, a timeless decor, and a mysterious atmosphere make for a tale that’s universal and disturbing, all the while capturing the feeling of a very contemporary reality.
