MEZIPATRA | No Dogs Allowed

Afin de pouvoir enfin parler à quelqu'un de ses tendances pédophiles, Gabo, 15 ans, se lie d'amitié avec Dave, beaucoup plus âgé que lui. Mais l'adulte veut vivre ses propres fantasmes sexuels avec Gabo. Lorsque Dave est arrêté parce qu'il est soupçonné de détournement de mineur, Gabo doit décider s'il témoigne contre son mentor ou prendre le risque de révéler son propre secret.

When fifteen-year-old Gabo realizes he feels an attraction to eight-year-old Sam, his world is thrown into turmoil. Afraid of being misunderstood, he hides his secret, but the weight of silence becomes unbearable. Seeking someone to confide in without judgement, he turns to an online chat with an adult named Dave, who also has paedophilic preferences. What Gabo doesn’t know is that Dave intends to exploit his vulnerability for his own benefit and to fulfil his sexual fantasies. As Gabo soon finds out, he would not be his first victim. Will he find the strength to testify against Dave despite the fear of exposure, or will he remain silent and continue to suffer alone? This powerful drama tackles the particularly serious subject of pedophilia with sensitivity, nuance, and objectivity. It draws a crucial line between inner desire and harmful action, while showing how empathy and support from others can play a decisive role – something Gabo is desperately seeking.
