Join us at the Alliance Française de Glasgow for a screening of the French film Leurs enfants après eux (2024), directed by Ludovic Boukherma et Zoran Boukherma.

Août 92. Une vallée perdue dans l’Est, des hauts fourneaux qui ne brûlent plus. Anthony, quatorze ans, s’ennuie ferme. Un après-midi de canicule au bord du lac, il rencontre Stéphanie. Le coup de foudre est tel que le soir même, il emprunte secrètement la moto de son père pour se rendre à une soirée où il espère la retrouver. Lorsque le lendemain matin, il s’aperçoit que la moto a disparu, sa vie bascule.

D’après le roman éponyme de Nicolas Mathieu, publié aux Editions Actes Sud, Prix Goncourt 2018.

August ’92. A lost valley in the East, blast furnaces that no longer burn. Anthony, fourteen, is bored stiff. One sweltering afternoon by the lake, he meets Stéphanie. The lightning strike is so intense that the very same evening, he secretly borrows his father’s motorbike to go to a party where he hopes to see her again. When he realizes the next morning that the motorbike has disappeared, his life is turned upside down.

Based on the novel of the same name by Nicolas Mathieu, published by Actes Sud, winner of the 2018 Prix Goncourt.
