My Golden Days
Directed by Arnaud Desplechin
Produced by Why Not Productions, France 2 Cinéma
A reflective, melancholic coming-of-age story that weaves together formative memories of love, betrayal, and family trauma against an exotic backdrop.
Paul is preparing to leave Tajikistan, while thinking back on his adolescent years. His childhood, his mother's madness, the parties, the trip to the USSR where he lost his virginity, the friend who betrayed him and the love of his life.
