Synopsis
The film focuses on Hubert Minel, a 16-year-old Québécois living in suburban Montreal with his single mother, Chantale. Beautifully capturing the anxieties of a mother-son relationship, as well as their inability to re-affirm their love for each other, Dolan made a movie that tackles a variety of issues including bullying, the difficulties of single parenting, and many specific challenges facing queer youth.
