Storyline

Malony has been in conflict with the school and with the law since he was six. But Florence Blaque, a juvenile judge, and Yann, a special educator, are convinced that they can save him from the spiral of revolt and violence in which he seems to be caught for the rest of his days. Will they attain their end in spite of everything, in spite of Malony himself who is his own worst enemy ? Written by Guy Bellinger

Powerful drama

A terrific drama speaking of the juvenile delinquency, more outstanding than anything I have already seen concerning such a kind of scheme. The young actor, whom I have never heard about before, is absolutely impressive as the lead character and I am sure we will hear of him soon. A great actor who gives us here a powerful performance. And Catherine Deneuve is still a great actress after all these years, and still beautiful too.

Yes, folks, that's really a brutal, violent and sometimes unbearable feature that grabs you, glues you to your seat, and so close to reality.

I highly recommend it.
