A teenage boxer is pushed to the limits in Wild Foxes. The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal the first trailer from the feature film debut of Belgian director Valéry Carnoy. The film will have its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes film festival, which kicks off next week.

Samuel Kircher, the breakout star of Catherine Breillat’s Last Summer, stars as Camille, a talented young boxer at a sports boarding school who narrowly survives a fatal accident, saved by his best friend Matteo (Faycal Anaflous). But after a swift recovery, Camille is struck by an inexplicable pain that gradually takes hold of him, threatening his dreams of greatness. In the world he knows, in the ring and outside it, there’s no room for weakness.

Carnoy’s 2021 short film Titan was a hit on the international festival circuit, screening in more than a hundred international festivals and winning more than 30 awards.
