Sybille, a divorced mother, can’t stand watching her teenage son Samuel slip into a violent and meaningless life. She is also struggling with her own demons, past and present. As a last resort, she takes Samuel on a long journey across Kyrgyzstan. Accompanied only by their two horses, mother and son face the magnificent yet hostile natural environment, its dangers, its rewards, its people… and above all each other.

Joachim Lafosse was born in 1975 in Brussels. After graduating from the IAD, he directs in 2003 his first feature film, FOLIE PRIVEE, selected in official competition at the Locarno Film Festival. In 2006, he directs two feature films, CA REND HEUREUX (selected in competition at Locarno and winner of the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Premiers Plans Festival in Angers) and PRIVATE PROPERTY with Isabelle Huppert (in competition at the Venice Film Festival). In 2007 he directs PRIVATE LESSONS, presented at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes in 2008. Joachim Lafosse’s reputation is growing from film to film, as shown by the national and international acclaim for OUR CHILDREN (selected for Un Certain Regard, where Emilie Dequenne won the award for Best Actress). In 2015 he directs THE WHITE KNIGHTS with a prestigious cast (Vincent Lindon, Valérie Donzelli, Louise Bourgoin, Reda Kateb) and presented in Toronto and San Sebastian (Best Director Award). AFTER LOVE, his 6th film, featuring Bérénice Bejo and Cédric Kahn, was recently shown at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes in 2016 and received excellent reviews from both critics and the public.
