Synopsis
Vincent is a 17-year old ecologist who drives his family crazy with his attempts to reduce their carbon footprint. Vincent‘s giddy French aunt Nikki takes him on a trip to France, convinced that the boy‘s obsession is related to his suffocating mother. But on their road-trip, Vincent proves to be much more than Nikki can handle.
Director's Statement
Making a comedy about suicide in a country with one of the highest suicide rates in Europe sounds somewhat harsh. Of course it’s much more then that. Vincent is a dramatic story with a funny edge and deals with both life’s joys and its disappointments, with its fears and its hopes. Its base is a feeling of unease, restlessness, lack of vision and future almost inherent with living and growing up in the world today. This takes us on a journey, both inward and outward, both in narrative and in the making. But foremost I’d like to think it’s realistic and I ended up putting more of myself into this film then I could have anticipated.
