More about tickets

In this award-winning debut by Laura Wandel, Abel (Günter Duret) and Nora (Maya Vanderbeque) are starting a new school but it’s not easy.

Abel does not make friends and is regularly set upon by the other boys in his year. Whilst Nora makes more progress, she is soon cast in the same light as her brother.

A startling portrayal of the difficulties in fitting in and the lengths humans will go to, become part of the group.

This film is showing as part of the Chiltern Film Society season. Showings are open to non-members. Seating is unreserved – simply purchase a ticket and choose your seat when you arrive.
