Les démons

Philippe Lesage

Canada | V.O. French | 2015 | 118 min | DCP | color | Fiction

While a series of kidnappings of young boys is raging in Montreal, Felix, 10, finished school in Old Longueuil, an ordinary suburb of peaceful appearance. Imaginative and sensitive, Felix, like many children, is afraid of everything: the possible divorce of his parents, who seem to go through a crisis; maniacs who prey on little boys; shady neighbours, and even AIDS. Little by little, the childhood imaginary demons is mixed with the demons of a disturbing reality.
