Iron Boy (Le corset)

In rural France, Christophe tries desperately to live up to the expectations of his rigid, distant father on the family farm. Until the day he starts to lean over and collapse without warning, an affliction that ultimately requires him to wear an iron corset to keep himself upright. Forced to reinvent his life away from the farm, Christophe discovers a new version of himself. But will it fix what’s out of balance?

Winner of the Special Jury Prize in Un Certain Regard at Cannes and recipient of three awards at the Annecy Animation Film Festival, Iron Boy is a heartfelt coming-of-age film brought to life by glorious hand-painted animation.
