The Son

Synopsis

Olivier is a joinery trainer in a social rehabilitation center. One day, the manageress of the center asks him to take a boy into his training group. Olivier refuses the application, pretexting that he already has too many trainees, and the teenager is put in the soldering workshop instead.
Who is this teenager, Francis? Why, after refusing him in his group, does Olivier start following him wherever he goes, down the center corridors, in the city streets even as far as his apartment building?
Why is he so interested in the boy? And what makes him so frightened of him?
