Vincent

Seventeen-year-old Vincent turns his household upside down trying to shrink its carbon footprint. His French aunt Nikki, certain the obsession has to do with his suffocating mother, takes him on a trip to France. On the road it becomes clear that what Vincent is carrying is not only ecological conscience but something much heavier, a question about wanting to be alive at all. Christophe Van Rompaey tries to hold that weight while keeping the register of comedy. It is a French and Belgian co-production, with Spencer Bogaert as Vincent and Alexandra Lamy as Nikki. At Locarno it played under the title Vincent and the End of the World.
