La Soupe

Written and directed by Benoit Theriault

Produced by Jelena Popović

New to sixth grade, Ben has to deal with the impression his special condition—essential tremors—makes on his classmates. His slow, vibrating voice and shaky hands prevent him from writing his name legibly on the blackboard. These differences motivate a group of class clowns to laugh at him. Their snickers escalate into a first battle, which the new student wins, much to their surprise. But the bullies do not accept this humiliation. From now on, after class, on his way home, Ben must escape the pursuit of these students motivated by revenge.
