Luce

Ten years ago, Amy and Peter Edgar adopted their son, Luce, from war-torn Eritrea where he was a child-soldier. Now a beloved all-star student and track star, Luce is destined for great things, but when he is assigned to write an essay in the voice of a historical 20th-century figure, Luce turns in a concerning paper, making his English teacher suspicious that something darker may lie behind Luce’s seemingly perfect image. Julius Onah directs an astonishing psychological drama about privilege, race, trust and subjectivity.
