Gardiennes

2017 · 14 min

A wry, low-key slice of teenage life that finds quiet comedy and poignancy in hanging around with nothing to do.

Overview
Acha and Myriam, fifteen years old, are bored out of their skulls in their social housing project. Sam, the leader of a gang of boys, asks them to be gardiennes for him. Honored, they stand in front of the main entrance of Building C, convinced they are participating in exciting drug deals.
