CALVET
The dazzling, disturbing and utterly compelling story of one man's extraordinary life, and how he was saved by the redemptive power of art.
Jean Marc Calvet, a one-time drug addict, rent boy and thief who is now a successful painter, recounts his astonishing tale with remarkable candour and courage, and takes director Dominic Allan with him on his search for his son, abandoned as a child and about to turn eighteen. A brave, moving and unforgettable film.
