 The film is an "unsparing portrait of teenage life in the French suburbs [that] sees a group of schoolfriends adrift at the end of the 1970s.There's drama, violence, and pot-induced laughs, group holidays, indiscriminate sex, advances from teachers twenty-five years their seniors, attempted moves to Paris – and few prospects of passing the Baccalauréat, the final set of exams French students take before embarking into the world... to do what?Marking the last work of Pialat's turbulent cycle of 1970s films, this is the sequel to the filmmaker's feature debut "L'enfance nue" (1969) – picked up again from a vantage point ten years on from the lives of the earlier film's protagonists."
