Chris has the body of a young man but the mind of a child. His mother abandons him on his eighteenth birthday, forcing him to fend for himself.
At first, overwhelmed by despair, he manages to get back on his feet and sustain himself by working as a caretaker in the building where he lives. To alleviate his pain and loneliness, Chris mentally talks to his absent mother about his daily life.
Seemingly helpless, this lovable character, full of sincerity, befriends people who will support him, and whom he will also support in return, displaying unusual strength and maturity.
With "The Boulevard," Jean-François Senessal offers a poignant story, as tough as it is tender, funny and tragic, written in a language of unparalleled beauty.
