Being 17

In a small town nestled at the foot of the mountainous countryside, a complex relationship unfolds between two young boys named Damien and Thomas. While Damien resides with his mother Marianne, a dedicated doctor, and misses his pilot father who is away on duty for the French military, he also faces constant bullying from Thomas. The boys' worlds collide when Thomas's mother falls ill and she is admitted to the hospital; in response, Marianne extends an unexpected invitation for Thomas to live with them during this difficult time. What follows is a profound and transformative journey as Damien is forced to confront his fears and learn how to coexist with the very person who tormented him, ultimately revealing the power of empathy and understanding in overcoming adversity.
