“When Samuel, a young orphan, is sent to live with foster parents Marie and Clement, he is gradually forced to face the demons he’s holding on to internally, as well as those that exist within his new family,” reads the official synopsis of the film. “Swept up in the motions of coming of age for the very first time — falling in love with the girl next door, exploring hobbies and indulging in childhood passions — he also begins to learn of the secrets his foster family are keeping, leading him to question everything around him.”

Astrakan is set to release in limited theaters and on video on-demand services on September 1, 2023.
