Handsome Devil
Follow the crowd, or follow your heart?
Directed by John Butler
Produced by Treasure Entertainment, Windmill Lane Pictures
A warm-hearted coming-of-age story about two outsiders finding acceptance and connection in a hostile boarding school environment, balancing humor with the real weight of adolescent isolation and identity.
A music-mad 16-year-old outcast at a rugby-mad boarding school forms an unlikely friendship with his dashing new roommate.
