The Illuminated Boy

The Illuminated Boy (2011)
Court Fiction - 32' - En distribution

Written and directed by Jérémy van der Haegen

Lucie has a recurring dream, where she falls deeper and deeper into a never-ending vacuum, drawn irresistibly by a blinding star. When she is awake, she sees lights flashing in her field of vision, altering her consciousness.
Her parents are worried. Doctors try to find an explanation and a cure. Where does this star come from, shining brighter than any other? What obscure corner of our life do these passionate flashes try to shed light on?
