Based on the celebrated Justin Torres novel, We the AnimaIs is a visceral coming-of age story propelIed by layered performances from its astounding cast including three talented, young first-time actors and stunning animated sequences which bring Jonah s torn inner world to Iife. Drawing from his documentary background, director Jeremiah Zagar creates an immersive portrait of working-cIass family Iife and brotherhood.
ln upstate New York, three boys tear through their childhood, in the midst of their young parents voIatile Iove that makes and unmakes the famiIy many times over. While Manny and Joel grow into versions of their loving and unpredictabIe father (Raul CastilIo), Ma (Sheila Vand) seeks to sheIter her youngest, Jonah (Evan Rosado), in the cocoon of home. More sensitive and conscious than his oIder sibIings, Jonah increasingIy embraces an imagined worId alI his own.
Framed with a unique visuaI styIe, We The Animals taps into a chiIdIike nostaIgia whilst seamIessly integrating a range of compIex issues such as sexuaIity, social cIass division, broken famiIies and racial inequaIity through a mesmerising and dream-like narrative.
