Jules, “It’s not easy”

Jules, “It’s not easy” - 2023.
42
Jules, a 16-year-old boy, is stuck in a relationship of intense closeness with his mother and with his twin, where his brother, his rival, becomes a mirror, a double. In this family of four, it is the mother who regulates tensions. The father, a night worker, is, in the teenager’s words, only a sleeper, an absence against a backdrop of presence. In these conditions, how is it possible to separate psychically from the primordial Other? What role does the institution play, where Jules finds a certain relational serenity?
