Movie Background

Departure

An English mother and her teenage son spend a week preparing to sell their remote holiday house in the South of France. Fifteen-year-old Elliot wrestles with his burgeoning sexuality and a widening rift with his mother, Beatrice. She confronts the dawning realization that her marriage to his father, Philip, has grown loveless and the life she knows is slipping away. When an enigmatic local teenager, Clément, quietly enters their lives, both mother and son are compelled to confront their desires and, at last, one another.
