Lemon Tree

Le Citronnier

Quinzaine 2023 | Short film | 18 min | United States of America

World premiere

It’s Halloween in America and a father is taking his son to the funfair. To impress him, he steals a magician’s rabbit, and off they go on a wild and frantic car ride. As the drive progresses, the big kid shoots up, while the son, a quiet little adult, must hold things together. There is a trade-off for the power of magic.
