Paris 26 December, the day before shooting.

Dear Yoshihiro,
I'm very excited to have you be the musician for my next feature film.
I admire your work and especially the music you composed for 'Mountains May Departure', Jia Zhangke's film. I'm starting my shoot tomorrow, until mid-February. I am as always impatient and terrified. The story of my film is told by a 17-year-old man. He strives to reconstruct the events that took place in his life following the death of his father in a car accident.
His narrative is troubled, chaotic, he tries to tame death, love and a shameful sense of freedom at the same time and it is as if he is trying to look the sun in the face.
I would like to give my images to a theme that evokes disgrace, the loss of the idyll and the irruption of a new tenderness, where Lucas could take refuge when he no longer understands what is happening to him.
I propose to send you regularly news of the film I am going to shoot, images, remarks, so that you can connect our two imaginaries for miles away. I am very happy to know that each of us, on two different continents, are starting to dream together of a film that does not yet exist. With all my friendship in Paris.
- Christophe Honoré, Director -

Before filming, Christophe Honoré gave me a briefing on the subject matter of Lycéan.
He asked me to compose a Family nostalgia theme based on the story and some photos.
I expressed in music the transition from a 17-year-old boy to adulthood, fragility, confusion, family ties, and hope for the future, and entrusted these compositions to the director.
Our collaboration achieved a miraculous synchronicity, with every song composed before filming resonating throughout this beautiful film. This was a surprise and a valuable experience.
- Yoshihiro Hanno – Composer -

A film by Christophe Honoré with Paul Kircher, Vincent Lacoste, Juliette Binoche, Erwan Kepoa Falé..
Selection Toronto, San Sebastian, Tokyo Festivals….

Lucas is drifting blithely through his last year of boarding school and looking forward to life as an attractive, out young man in Paris. His older brother, Quentin, already lives there; his parents will take care of everything. It’ll be nice.
And then, one day, a sudden tragedy strips away everything Lucas took for granted, leaving him filled with anger and despair, his future in shambles. Quentin is lost in his own pain. Their mother, Isabelle, doesn’t know how to reach out to the young man Lucas is becoming. And so he is left to find his way alone, seeking comfort in a Paris that is still recovering from the pandemic.
