Jo's Boy
Watch TrailerGrandson of a legendary rugby player, son of a legendary rugby player, and he himself a legendary rugby player, Jo Canavero raises his only son, Tom, in a small village in the Tarn region. To the great displeasure of Jo, thirteen-year-old Tom is as good at math as he is useless on the rugby field. For a Canavero, the legend can't stop there, even if it means setting up a rugby team specifically for Tom, despite the wishes of the whole village and of Tom himself.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a tender story of fatherhood and self-discovery, relying on the contrast between rural life and personal legacy. It explores what it means to inherit a legend when your own talents pull you in a different direction.
What lingers after the credits is a gentle humor and genuine warmth, a comedy that masks a thoughtful look at family bonds and the weight of expectation. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Philippe Guillard
