Iron Boy

Christophe is eleven years old and lives on a farm in the French region of Beauce. His father is a quiet, unyielding man, and the boy works hard to be the son the family farm needs. But his body starts to fail him. He bends over and collapses without warning, again and again, during the most ordinary moments. When a solution finally arrives, it is as strange as the condition itself: an iron corset he must wear day and night to stay upright. Directed by Louis Clichy, the film begins with a boy who wants to prove his strength and finds a remedy that separates him from everything he knows.
