L'attrape-rêves

Directed by Alain Ross

The beauty of the rustic summer countryside has little impact on the alienated Juliette. Her 16th birthday is marred by bickering between her British-born mother and her hippie ersatz stepfather; moreover, her father is a drunken bartender in town. Her boredom leads her to Titi and his gang of skinheads. When their walk on the wild side goes awry, Juliette's parents react coarsely. Frustrated, Juliette ventures into the night on her scooter, resulting in a major accident that chastens the community.
