Info
A border crossing becomes one young manīs rite of passage. Set in the Democratic Republic of Congo, LES VULNERABLES is a coming-of-age story about a schoolboy who tries to prove his manhood to his once-famous, now-handicapped father by helping him smuggle goods over the border between Congo and Rwanda. It follows the journey of Stewart, a boy trying to impress his father by volunteering to push his wheelchair through the streets of a town in order to reach the border, for an illicit drug trade.
