Patrick

After living in a tailspin of loneliness, lawlessness and wild days in Paris, 20-year-old Patrick is arrested and forced to return home. For Patrick is, in reality, Mário, a boy kidnapped twelve years ago in Portugal. The one to open the door is his mother, a broken woman irreversibly changed after years of mourning a child who vanished into thin air. A strained relationship woven from guilt, doubt and, above all, silence develops between them, as the crushing identity dilemma looms large. A heartening and disconcerting portrait of a tortured soul, literally split in two: some things lost are not meant to be found.
