Baptise is a substitute teacher flits between different schools and finding no home, only freedom. When he finds himself looking after a student for a weekend, he could not imagine being completely enchanted by his mother Sandra when she returns. For a while, their idyllic setting seems to be work up. However, both Baptise and Sandra both have a past they'd rather forget. And as her troubles comes haunting them, Baptise must chose between running away from the relationship or using his own dark secrets to shelter them from the threat.
Going Away seems poignant enough to carry weight through that critics from recent film festivals are already singing praises (though some rather tentatively).The movie looks great and this trailer is very stripped back and powerful.
Going Away has yet to have a release date.
