A chronicle of the friendship between Jojo and Willy in the countryside of Maine-et-Loire. Jojo is preparing for a motocross championship under the thumb of an authoritarian father, while Willy is studying for his high school diploma, trying to overcome an introverted adolescence and the grief of losing his father. A heavy secret revealed will test their friendship. Antoine Chevrollier captures adolescence so accurately that it sometimes feels like a vérité documentary, driven by a story that avoids clichés and surprises with both the development of the characters and the exploration of the unbreakable bond of friendship it depicts. A contemporary Dead Poets Society that captivated the latest Critics' Week at Cannes.
