OPENING NIGHT SELECTION - 2025 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL (Directors' Fortnight)
From award-winning director Robin Campillo (BPM, The Returned, Eastern Boys) and the late Laurent Cantet (Palme d’Or winner The Class), ENZO is a luminous new drama that intertwines the sunlit romance and tender emotions of Call Me by Your Name with a sharp, incisive exploration of social class and the quest for self-discovery.
Defying his bourgeois family’s expectations, 16-year-old Enzo (extraordinary newcomer Eloy Pohu) has pursued a masonry apprenticeship, a path far removed from the prestigious life envisioned for him by his parents (Pierfrancisco Favino and Élodie Bouchez). In their chic villa in the sun-drenched South of France, tensions simmer as relentless questions and pressures weigh on Enzo’s future and dreams. On the construction sites, however, Vlad (Maksym Slivinskyi), a charismatic Ukrainian colleague, shakes up Enzo’s world and opens the door to unexpected possibilities.
