Young Leo Lauzon is torn between two worlds -the squalid Montreal tenement where he lives with his family dans his own world of dreams. Léolo is a humorous and fearless account of the terrors and joys of adolescence in an uncertain world. The 12-year-old dreamer, Leolo, is convinced he is the offspring of a sperm-laden Sicilian tomato and in reality: Leone Lauzone. An odd man of literature will eventually understand the value of Leolo’s writings.
