“I have to reinvent my life, run the ultimate risk of changing, the risk of complete imbalance”. With his 9th feature film, Odoul is back in force with a divisive one that stages an internal, political, and necessary war. The movie stars Theo, a young man who has Down’s Syndrome, on a path to become a “samurai in a secret training camp for peaceful warriors” in the heart of a forest populated by animals. Theo is agitated and looking for love. He is free as a bird. A shattering poetic odyssey.
