They are best friends, as close as brothers. However as they start a new school year, the pressures of burgeoning adolescence challenge their bond with unexpected and far-reaching consequences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With incredibly authentic and emotional performances from newcomers Eden Dambrine and Gustav De Waele, Dhont\u2019s latest film is as evocative as it is visually stunning, set against the rich landscape of the Belgian countryside.
