WILD FOXES

WILD FOXES

“It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving for­ward.” (Rocky Balboa)
Camille is a talen­ted young boxer at a sports boar­ding school: Someone who could one day beco­me a cham­pi­on. But the pres­su­re is high. To switch off, he roams the woods with his best fri­end Matteo, whe­re they watch foxes – until an acci­dent chan­ges ever­y­thing. Matteo saves him and Camille gets off light­ly, but some­thing insi­de him starts to waver. He is scared and loses inte­rest in trai­ning. The fact that the coa­ches con­ti­nue to rely on him is not well recei­ved by his class­ma­tes. His fri­end­ship with Matteo also beg­ins to crum­ble. As the con­flicts come to a head, the came­ra stays clo­se to the cha­rac­ters and sen­si­tively cap­tures the ten­se atmo­sphe­re bet­ween the young peo­p­le. A film full of both vio­lence and ten­der­ness. (SAC)

Biography

Valéry Carnoy is a direc­tor from Belgium. His gra­dua­ti­on film MY PLANET won seve­ral awards. WILD FOXES is his first fea­ture film. In it, he tells the sto­ry of a teen­ager who is forced to con­front his own vul­nerabi­li­ty after an acci­dent – “the same per­son who spent his enti­re youth tur­ning his body into a wea­pon”, says Valéry.
