Wandering Flavio(2025)

Wandering Flavio Synopsis

Flavio Mendes, a visually impaired highschool student living on the outskirts of Paris, is approaching highschool graduation and has to make decisions about his future. Which university he will attend, and what career path to pursue: music or law? Through this immersive portrait, we follow Flavio through days loaded with classes, trumpet lessons, and visits with friends (often on the trains that encircle the city and whose schedules Flavio knows by heart). Though he lacks much of his vision, he interacts with the world around him with a rare courage, fully embracing his disability and not letting his ambition or his passion for life be hindered.

Wandering Flavio (2025) is a documentary and music film directed by Marie Liesse, released on May 3, 2025 with a runtime of 1h. It stars Flavio Mendès, Théotime Berthaud, Paul Auguste Roy and Mairame Dieng.
