Nicolas - just two years ago a smiling boy - is going through a difficult phase after his parents' divorce
He's listless, skipping classes, lying
He believes moving in with his father and his new family may help
And a different school, a fresh start
When he doesn't feel comfortable there, when he senses he isn't wanted, he decides that going back to his mother's may be the answer
But at some point, options are going to dry up
And then what?
Florian Zeller's The Son forms the final part in a trilogy with The Mother and The Father
