Adoration
Directed by Fabrice Du Welz
Produced by The Jokers Films, Panique!
A tender, melancholic coming-of-age story about two isolated teenagers finding connection amid mental illness and institutional confinement in a forest setting.
Paul lives with his mother in the private clinic of doctor Loisel, deeply hidden in the woods. Paul likes to roam the forest and observe nature. One day Gloria, a schizophrenic teenager of around fifteen years old, arrives, and Paul falls in love immediately.
