THE FANTASTIC THREE

Max, a witty and brave 12-year-old, feels like he has two families instead of one. In and after school, he spends all his time with his two best friends Tom and Vivian, who are always there to make life easier for each other. Together, they are The Fantastic Three. His real family on the other hand, is messy, with a depressed single mother and a brother in jail. When Max’s brother returns home, more trouble arises. To save his brother from his own downfall, Max drags his friends with him into a seemingly inevitable spiral. Cineuropa

It starts in a bucolic way like a film about childhood friends. But things get out of hand and betrayals follow one another until tragedy strikes. Excellent 1st film by DICHTER, premiered at Cannes at the RCC, with a range of amazing young actors. Not to be missed. MUBI
