Being 17

Dreamlike film about growing up by one of the contemporary masters of French cinema André Téchiné, creator of the famous "Wild reeds." This intimate portrait of adolescent young people who are still searching for their own identity and still know their sexuality. "At 17 years," he is compared with the famous "Life Adeli" Abdellatif Kechiche.

Damien and Thomas attend the same classes, but divides them all, the difference in class and racial onwards. The first is szpaner with well-to-do family doctors and the military. The second is an adopted boy of African origin. After school must help parents with the farm.

Young heroes schoolmates hate to the extent that in one moment can go from insults to blows. Perverse fate makes, however, that for some time have to live under one roof. Their reluctance eventually transforms into a camaraderie and mutual fascination. They come to the fore buzzing hormones.
