one family, two brothers, two very different views on masculinity
A family implodes when two sons have different ideas of what it means to be a man

Escaping a terrible predicament, Suzanne flees her native France with her infant son, Adam. In England she marries and has another boy, Rickie. Although a comfortable family life provides her with much-needed stability, Suzanne remains a fish out of water.

Adam and Rickie have very different ideas of what it is to be a man. But Suzanne's mother is dying, and she wants to bring her family on one last trip to France to say goodbye. Thrown together, the brothers' priorities align, and they begin to find common ground - until one act changes everything. As the family unravels, Rickie's wife, Elle, bears the brunt of a deadly sibling rivalry.

Told in a series of candid snapshots, The Best Boy in the World is a mesmerising album of one family's implosion, and what it takes to overcome the legacy of generational trauma.
