Soy Libre

Just released from a juvenile detention centre, Arnaud longs for just one thing: unconditional freedom. The energetic young outsider, who grew up trapped between social housing and foster families, leaves France and fights his way on the streets of Spain. Soon, poverty and loneliness take their toll, but Arnaud is a guy who bounces back. He resolutely follows his path, which leads him all the way to the Peruvian wilderness. Filmmaker Laure Portier paints an intimate portrait of her younger brother searching for his place in society. The tenderly raw images and sound recordings also provide unique insights into an extraordinary sibling relationship and the filmmaking process itself. (Zurich Film Festival)
