Synopsis

Léo Lauzon is a boy with a boundless imagination who lives with his peculiar and detestable family in a humble Montreal neighborhood. To escape this odious environment, the boy invents an imaginary and surreal world where he calls himself Léolo Lozone and claims to have been born from the sun or from a tomato fertilized by an Italian.


Presented at the Cannes Film Festival. Winner of the Golden Spike at the Seminci (Valladolid). Blending delirious tenderness with the harsh of the most depressing reality, the ill-fated Lauzon (who died in a plane crash) creates a wonderful, different, and impressive film that offers the most captivating vision of childhood that modern cinema has ever produced. A singular and essential work.
