Fake Tattoos (Les faux tatouages)

On the balmy summer night he celebrates his 18th birthday, loner punk rocker Théo (Anthony Therrien) is chatted up by the fierce and talkative Mag (Rose-Marie Perreault). Following a concert, the two meet in a shop where Mag points out the fake tattoos on Théo’s arm. As their backgrounds are revealed, the playful romance turns gently and smartly into something darker, and the film spirals to a dramatically satisfying conclusion. A strikingly-made, award-winning film from writer-director Pascal Plante.
