(MA FRÈRE)

Growing up in a less well-off area of Paris, 19-year-olds Shai and Djeneba have always been inseparable. For one summer, the two headstrong girls escape their tower blocks to work at a summer camp in the southeast of France, where they attempt to supervise an unruly tribe of exasperating, unique, and endearing kids. This summer, Shai and Djeneba will have to redefine their friendship,
while the children in their care are discovering their own independence, questioning the world directly, and challenging it with boundless energy.
