I Am Jonas
A haunting coming-of-age drama about a teenage boy's formative but traumatic encounter with an older, predatory figure, told through the lens of adult memory and regret.
When Jonas was 14 he met the charismatic but mysterious Nathan. In addition to guiding him in grappling with his sexuality, Jonas soon confronts something dark and even dangerous about his new friend. Now an attractive, sexually assured adult, memories from this time still haunt Jonas.
