An unusually fertile imagination is at once the salvation and downfall of Léolo (Maxime Collin), a young Montreal boy growing up in a highly dysfunctional family. In order to cope with the chaos of his daily existence, Léolo invents a rich fantasy world into which he retreats. Over time, the boy sinks further into his mental creation, ultimately eschewing reality -- and sanity -- in director Jean-Claude Lauzon's hypnotic, visually arresting film.
