Bugboy follows George, a shy teenager with misaligned eyes who struggles to connect with others after his parents’ traumatic divorce. Finding refuge in the world of insects, he bonds with a cricket named Isabella, who inspires him to reimagine his place in the world. Through a portrait of transformation and self-discovery, it reminds us that even the smallest creatures can help us find where we belong.

Lucas Paleocrassas is a documentary filmmaker whose work explores how young people navigate moments of change, identity, and belonging. He is drawn to introverted teenagers who see the world differently: outsiders whose inner worlds reveal hidden realities.
Bugboy continues his exploration of how adolescents cope with isolation, and how their perspectives can challenge us to reimagine our own.
His previous feature Final Year (2022) premiered in competition at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival and went on to receive the Best Feature Documentary Award at the Olympia International Film Festival for Children and Young People, as well as Best Greek Documentary at AegeanDocs.
