What is Flamingo Boy about?

During World War II in the Camargue region of southern France, Lorenzo, a young autistic boy, lives peacefully on his parents' farm among the salt flats and flamingos. His world is disrupted when German soldiers occupy the area, threatening the community and the things he holds dear. Amidst the turmoil, Lorenzo forms an unexpected bond with a compassionate German sergeant, and together they strive to mend the broken pieces of their lives and the town.
