a film written & directed by Mathieu Grimard
When home is a hopeless place, is it more courageous to stay — or to go? For Ian Golovin, his father’s death is an emancipation. Suddenly untethered, he is determined to leave behind the old man’s words, abandon the desolate high-rises and get out from under his old life to start over.
