Nora and Leo love each other at first sight but their families do not accept their relationship.
For "16 years", Philippe Loiret moves with the tragic love story of current teenagers.
The director of "Welcome" reveals two brilliant young actors: Sabrina Levoye and Teïlo Azaïs.
They are young and fall in love with each other at first sight, a powerful love that will torpedo the rivalry between their families from very different backgrounds.
16 ans
by Philippe Lioret is inspired very distantly by
Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare and allows us to discover two wonderful young actors: Sabrina Levoye and Teïlo Azaïs.
“Beyond communities, social differences also create discord,” explains Philippe Lioret in the press kit.
Such different ways of life do not help to understand each other.
She lives in an HLM complex and he in an affluent residential suburb.
When the boy's father, a supermarket boss, dismisses the brother, handler of the young girl whom he suspects of theft, the fire is set on fire with no hope of return.
To the great displeasure of the lovers that school life had accustomed to living together in perfect harmony without asking the slightest question.
A sober and powerful film
The director of
Welcome
is still just as comfortable describing the daily life of overwhelmed beings in a hostile society.
The young people full of life that he describes are swept away by the current spirit and by traditions of yesteryear embodied by the heroine's father (Arsène Mosca, excellent in the role of patriarch with chilling authority).
With great sensitivity, Philippe Lioret takes up the cause for his lovebirds.
His sober film tears the hearts of a spectator entirely won over to the cause of his heroes.
