Story

A wave of kidnappings of young boys shocks Montreal. Towards the end of the school year, 10-year old Félix lets his imagination run riot. Nothing ever seems to happen in the sleepy suburb he lives in, but Félix is frightened of everything: that his parents will divorce, that the madman who is kidnapping boys will come after him, his weird neighbour, even AIDS. Slowly but surely, the demons in his head begin to resemble those in the outside world. The Demons is a moving, atmospherically dense coming-of-age film, in which Édouard Tremblay-Grenier turns in an impressive performance as Félix.
