After her sixteenth birthday, Catherine’s life is turned upside down. At home, she has to deal with her distracted parents, whose only thought is their divorce. She thus spends increasingly more time away from home with her peers, with whom she explores drugs, alcohol, happiness and love. With an exceptional music selection, this adaptation of the eponymous novel by the renowned Canadian writer Geneviève Pettersen depicts a complicated growing up of a rebellious teenager and her friends in the mid-1990s.

Resistance in this program comes in many forms: we will learn about communities organizing to create a shared garden to fight food insecurity, we’ll see some rich ass kicked, and stand against social injustice, racism, sexism and animal abuse. With a dose of laughter too, because we need that in this crazy crazy world. – Allesia Gasparella
