Two moments of Jonas's life intertwine, each reflecting the other: in 1995, when he was a secretive teenager, and 18 years later, as an attractive and impulsive thirty-something looking for balance in his life.
"If you saw French actor Félix Maritaud in '120 Beats Per Minute' or in the intense drama of 'Savage' (by Camille Vidal-Naquet), you will know that he is quite capable of conveying to the audience the deep emotional turmoil that his film characters suffer. In 'Jonas', he achieves the same effect with ease, presenting us with a broken and conflicted protagonist in the adult phase of the story (set in 2015), which intertwines with his contrasting adolescence (in 1997, played by young actor Nicolas Bauwens). This exploration of various stages in the character's life will certainly remind you of 'Moonlight', but the surprising twist of the script towards mystery hides a powerful emotional punch."
