Do It Right (2017) 15

France | 2017 | 97 min.

Nassim is a junior in a well-reputed Parisian high school and seems as carefree as his friends. Nobody has the slightest idea that in reality he has just lost his mother and returns every evening to a foster care facility. Despite the kindness of the woman who runs the children’s home, he refuses to assimilate with the other youth in the center. Like a tightrope walker, Nassim navigates between his two lives that he is determined to keep separate no matter what.
