LES GARÇONS SAUVAGES
France, 2017 - 100’
At the beginning of the 20th century on the island of La Réunion, five adolescents of good family, enamoured with the occult, commit a savage crime. A Dutch Captain takes them in charge for a repressive cruise on a haunted, dilapidated sailboat.
Exhausted by the methods of the Captain, the five boys prepare to mutiny. Their port of call is a supernatural island with luxuriant vegetation and bewitching powers.
Bertrand Mandico has directed many short and medium-length films selected in Cannes, Venice, and has won awards in many international festivals. “The Wild Boys" is his first feature film.
