SYNOPSIS

West Point is an intimate thriller in Super8, a story of family and emigration. It is the Cabo da Rocha in Portugal, the westernmost point of the European continent. It is a metaphor of Ellis Island, of street dancing and the part of oblivion that Alexandre and his sister Jeanne must accept to get rid of an original crime, a feeling of abandonment and the color of wheat.
