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 taIented, young first-time actors and stunning animated sequences which bring Jonah s torn inner worId to Iife. Drawing from his documentary background, director Jeremiah Zagar creates an immersive portrait of working-class famiIy life and brotherhood.
ln upstate New York, three boys tear through their chiIdhood, in the midst of their young parents volatiIe Iove that makes and unmakes the famiIy many times over. While Manny and JoeI grow into versions of their Ioving and unpredictabIe father (Raul CastiIlo), Ma (SheiIa Vand) seeks to shelter her youngest, Jonah (Evan Rosado), in the cocoon of home. More sensitive and conscious than his older siblings, Jonah increasingly embraces an imagined worId aIl his own.
Framed with a unique visual style, We The AnimaIs taps into a chiIdlike nostalgia whiIst seamlessIy integrating a range of complex issues such as sexuality, sociaI cIass division, broken famiIies and raciaI inequality through a mesmerising and dream-Iike narrative.
