BROTHERS IN ARMS

A film by François Lalonde

Synopsis
To celebrate his 18th birthday, Édouard spends a weekend at the chalet with his friends. Amid laughter and complicity, their brotherhood seems unshakeable... until Édouard's boundaries are crossed. The unexpected arrival of his big brother Max late in the evening confronts the group with its own contradictions.
Through an exploration of masculine dynamics, Brothers in Arms questions how perceptions of consent are shaped and challenged.
