Directors Ludovic and Zoran Boukherma, known for their singular, touching works, return with Their Children After Them. Adapted from Nicolas Mathieu's 2018 Prix Goncourt-winning novel of the same name, the drama features a cast including Paul Kircher, Angelina Woreth, Sayyid El Alami, Gilles Lellouche and Ludivine Sagnier. The film, due in cinemas on December 4, 2024, promises to capture the poignant, realistic essence of the literary work.
August 1992. In an isolated valley in eastern France, the blast furnaces have shut down and boredom reigns. Fourteen-year-old Anthony is desperate to escape. One sweltering afternoon by a lake, he meets Stéphanie, and it's love at first sight. Ready to do anything to see her again, he secretly borrows his father's motorcycle to go to a party. But the next morning, the motorcycle has disappeared, turning his life upside down. This story, based on the novel by Nicolas Mathieu, depicts the life and challenges of youth in a region in decline.
Their Children After Them will appeal to fans of realistic dramas and readers of the original novel. The film explores universal themes such as adolescence, disillusionment and the quest for identity in a difficult social and economic context. The Boukherma brothers are expected to bring their unique sensibility to this adaptation, promising a cinematic experience that is both authentic and emotional. Audiences who enjoyed films such as La Vie d'Adèle and Grave will find the story just as captivating and touching.
