The Lost Boys
Directed by Zeno Graton
Produced by Tarantula, Silex Films
A tense, intimate coming-of-age romance set within the confines of a juvenile detention center, where desire and the yearning for freedom collide.
In a youth correctional facility, Joe is preparing his return to society. But William’s arrival turns his desire for freedom into desire of another kind. Behind fences and cell walls, passions begin to play havoc with the need for liberty.
