Description: A fractured mirror reflecting a boy's shattered world, Fränk (2025) isn't just a film; it's a visceral experience. Director Tõnis Pill masterfully crafts a narrative of adolescent turmoil, skillfully portrayed by Derek Leheste as the troubled Paul. The film's unflinching portrayal of domestic violence sets a stark backdrop for Paul's desperate search for belonging in a strange new town. His impulsive choices, expertly nuanced by Leheste, feel both tragically relatable and heartbreakingly inevitable. Yet, a glimmer of hope emerges through an unexpected connection, hinting at the resilience of the human spirit even in the face of profound adversity. Oskar Seeman and Tõru Kannimäe deliver equally compelling performances in supporting roles, adding depth to this emotionally resonant and unforgettable cinematic journey.
