Film Synopsis
Philippe Fournier, known to his friends as Paco, decides not to return his two sons, aged six and seven, to their mother, even though she has custody of them. Instead, he runs away with them, taking shelter in whatever they can find - barns, farmhouses, caravans. The two boys, Okyesa and Tsali, are soon teenagers, living a wild existence with their father, in harmony with nature and the animals they encounter. Pursued by the authorities and hunted relentlessly by their mother, they settle into a nomad existence that is as perilous as it is liberating. It is in the course of this eleven year long adventure that the boys will discover who they are...© James Travers
