KNEE-DEEP IN TALL TALES
14-year-old Jordan is bored with country life in the small village of Mornas. His mother is a nurse and frequently absent, so he spends a lot of time with his best friend Patrick. Most of the time, the two of them gamble on their shared console, which they have named Jessica. But when Jessica breaks down, they decide that Jordan should fake an illness so that they can set up an online donation box to buy a new console with the money. As Jordan’s popularity grows, so does the lie construct. Will Jordan and Patrick’s friendship stand up to it? This brilliant comedy plays with common boundaries and breaks some rules of decency. (KP)
