And Their Children After Them

In August 1992, on a sweltering afternoon in a remote valley in Eastern France, Anthony, a 14-year-old, and his cousin are trying to beat their boredom by a lake, surrounded by the area's defunct blast furnaces. They meet up with Steph and Clem. For Anthony, this summer will become memorable as he experiences his first love, a pivotal moment that defines his transition from childhood to adulthood. However, trouble arises with Hacine, a rebellious youth from the neighborhood, who steals Anthony's motorcycle, causing chaos in their lives. Over the next four summers, the lives of Anthony, Steph, and Hacine intersect and entwine in unexpected ways. Amidst all the challenges, love attempts to find its way.
