Raw film by Koen Mortier (Ex Drummer) about childhood trauma and the hard work in youth psychiatry. With music by Amenra.
Neglected teenager Liam grows up in a family where drugs and violence play the leading role. When his destructive home is exchanged for a youth institution, the boy finds comfort, but he also ends up in a group of boys, each of whom has their own problems. Liam is sensitive, wary and afraid of getting hurt, but damaged to the point that he also has a dangerous side. Little by little, his counselors manage to break him open, but Liam's past continues to haunt him.
The film - based on the book by a Flemish youth worker - was critically acclaimed in Belgium and has already won two prizes.
There are no new dates planned (yet) for Skunk.
