Giant Little Ones

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Franky and Ballas have been best friends since childhood. They are high school royalty: handsome, stars of the swim team, and popular with girls. They live a perfect teenage life, until the night of Franky’s epic 17th birthday party, when the two of them will be involved in an unexpected incident that changes their lives forever. A heartfelt and intimate coming-of-age story about friendship and self-discovery, the power of love without labels, and the new methods to face past stereotypes.
