Enzo
A sensitive coming-of-age drama about a boy who, defying his family’s expectations, chooses a bricklaying apprenticeship over university. During his internship, he becomes captivated by a Ukrainian colleague.
Sixteen-year-old Enzo’s choice to start a masonry apprenticeship is a path far removed from the prestigious life his family had envisioned for him. In their chic villa in the sun-drenched South of France, tensions simmer as relentless questions and pressures weigh on Enzo’s future and dreams. On the construction site, Vlad, a charismatic Ukrainian colleague, shakes up Enzo’s world and opens the door to unexpected possibilities.
Robin Campillo (120 BPM), working with a screenplay entrusted to him by the now sadly departed Laurent Cantet (Entre Les Murs), gently depicts a complex transition to adulthood in a film sure to elicit comparisons to Call Me By Your Name. Enzo encapsulates the way in which normalcy – a career, a future, romance, desire – can seem impossible to contemplate in times of war.
