The Quiet Son

When filial love collides with the flames of ideology.

Directed by Muriel Coulin, Delphine Coulin

Produced by Felicita Films, Curiosa Films

A dark, intimate family tragedy exploring the collision between paternal love and ideological radicalization, culminating in irreversible loss.

Pierre, a devoted father in his 50s, raises his two sons alone. When Louis, the youngest, leaves home to attend the Sorbonne in Paris, Fus, slightly older and not as successful academically, becomes more and more secretive. Driven by a fascination for violence, he gets entangled in far-right extremist groups, at the very opposite of his father’s values. Between them, there is love and hate, until tragedy happens.
