Suzanne is 16. She is bored with people of her age. Every day on her way to high school, she passes a theater. There, she meets an older man, and becomes obsessed with him. Despite their age difference, they find in each other an answer to their ennui and fall in love. But Suzanne is afraid she’s missing out on life – that life of a 16-year-old, which she had struggled so much to enjoy in the same way as her peers.Suzanne Lindon's directorial debut won the hearts of critics after its premieres at the Cannes, San Sebastián and Toronto International Film Festivals. Rated 93% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, it follows a teenage girl - played by Lindon - who becomes involved with an older man (Arnaud Valois, BPM (Beats Per Minute)). Screen Daily raves, "Lindon creates a portrait of first love which is fresh, honest and engaging."
