AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The psychological thriller, Partisan, follows 11-year-old Alexander – playful, curious and naïve, like any other kid. He is also a trained assassin. Raised in a hidden paradise on the outskirts of town, Alexander has grown up seeing the world exclusively through the eyes of his father, Gregori (Vincent Cassel). As Alexander starts to think for himself, Gregori’s idyllic world begins to crumble.'
