In Ghana, Kojo is torn between the freedom of the streets and the traditional values dear to his father.
When his dad disappears, the devastated teenager turns to Accra’s gangs in hopes of filling the indelible void. In Quebec, Tony has lived alone with his mother for as long as he can remember. When he discovers that she is in a long-distance relationship with a cargo ship captain, a new theory about his father's identity sets him ablaze. In this dazzling first feature by Jérémy Comte, Paradise beautifully intertwines the fates of two young men whose lives seem worlds apart, creating a cinematic work as poignant as it is unforgettable.
Selected at the Berlinale, this film will be presented as a Quebec premiere at this 32nd edition of Festival CINEMANIA.
