Frybread Face and Me

Billy Luther, USA 2023, 83’
European premiere
Family Portrait LaRoy

Instead of going to see Fleetwood Mac, Benny must go to his grandmother's ranch in the heart of Arizona. The initial torment of a teenager enamored with pop culture turns into an exciting adventure and life lesson; raised in San Diego, he builds relationships with family members and the alien world of his ancestral Navajo people.
