Heart-wrenching cinema in a dazzling setting: a young man drifts aimlessly through life and loses his emotional bearings.

Enzo (Eloy Pohu), 16, and his wealthy parents (Pierfrancesco Favino and Élodie Bouchez) reside in a villa on the mountainous southern coast of France. Completely contrary to their expectations, he abruptly announces one bright summer’s day that he wants to do an apprenticeship as a bricklayer. On the building site, Enzo meets a slightly older man named Vlad (Maksym Slivinskyi, whose physique resembles that of the young Brando). Vlad is wrestling with the question of whether to return to his native Ukraine to fight against the Russians. Before long, the two completely dissimilar men start to become something more than friends. At least one of them thinks that. And he finds himself in serious emotional turmoil.

Director

Robin Campillo (›120 BPM‹) had been friends with Laurent Cantet (›The Class‹) since their student days and had been a writer and editor on several of his films. When Cantet succumbed to cancer shortly before filming on ›Enzo‹ began, Campillo made the project the fifth of his own feature films as a director.
