The Pupil

Films - In post-production

Through a process of grooming, Daan (12) is gradually sexually abused by his football coach, Ries (35). The necessity of keeping this secret isolates Daan. When the truth eventually emerges, Daan is overwhelmed by shame and must confront the uncomfortable, and at times ruthless, reactions from those around him.
