Armand, a six-year-old boy, is accused of crossing boundaries against his best friend at elementary school. 

During one fatal afternoon in an empty elementary school the two mothers of Armand (6) and Jon (6) get into a desperate fight to be believed when one son is accused of crossing boundaries against the other. All means are used, and soon a blend of madness, desire and obsession arises. Where the truth lies is impossible to know, and soon everything evolves less and less around the children, who we never meet, and more about the adults. 
 
The debut feature of Norwegian writer-director Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel (the grandson of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann), “Armand” is a lacerating drama about the social controls we permit in our daily lives – and impose on our children. 
 
Winner of this year’s Camera d'Or at Cannes, it is a story to reckon with. Norway nominated the film for the Best International Film Oscar.
