The character Clotaire, portrayed by Malik Frikah, encounters his equal in Jacqueline, played by Mallory Wanecque, and despite their differing backgrounds, they develop a connection. He finds himself intensely drawn to her, but instead of purchasing the “Cure” album she likes for her, he steals it—just one instance among many petty crimes that lead to a decade-long prison sentence. Upon his release, portrayed by François Civil, he returns to his old neighborhood seeking repayment and possibly rekindling their relationship, only to discover things have changed considerably. Violence is ever-present, and he realizes change might be his only hope of reconciling with Jackie, now played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, who has faced her own hardships in his absence. She’s currently living with her employer Jeffrey, portrayed by Vincent Lacoste, seemingly out of necessity rather than genuine affection. Is a future possible for these childhood sweethearts? The film is well-assembled and presents a raw, intense action drama that unfolds along a fairly familiar path. However, it's elevated by four notably strong performances as it explores young love alongside the despair felt by Clotaire, pushing him toward what he perceives as his only option. There’s limited dialogue, which I believe works in its favor, and the 1980s soundtrack effectively establishes the atmosphere as they mature at different rates and under very different circumstances. It's a film centered on the characters rather than their situation, and while I wasn't particularly satisfied with the ending, it’s a worthwhile movie that is definitely worth seeing.
