IFFBoston 2025: The Kingdom

Join us for THE KINGDOM, playing as part of IFFBoston 2025!

Set in 1995 Corsica, 15-year-old Lesia’s (Ghjuvanna Benedetti) coming-of-age summer is interrupted when she must abruptly depart to the home of her crime boss father, Pierre-Paul (Saveriu Santucci). When danger erupts around them, she is forced to confront the role her father plays in a violent underground war now spinning out of control.

Director Julien Colonna’s family crime drama gripped Cannes with his nuanced exploration of the parent-child bond. Thrillingly shot and deftly acted, THE KINGDOM (LE ROYAUME) tells the story of a family struggling to come together while the path they have chosen threatens to tear them apart.
