Light Thereafter is a 2017 Bulgarian drama film directed by Konstantin Bojanov starring Barry Keoghan as Pavel, a lonely teenager who is obsessed with the French painter Arnaud.[1]

Premise

[edit]

Lonely autistic teenager Pavel (Keoghan) travels from London, where he lives with his mother, to France in hopes of meeting Arnaud (Bodnia), a famous French painter. Along the way, he crosses paths with a number of unusual figures including his aunt (Sichov) and Julie (Rigot), a hitchhiker. His ultimate encounter and apprenticeship with Arnaud does not match Pavel's expectation's due to the painter's exacting discipline.[2]
