JUNIORS
synopsis
Jordan and Patrick, 14 years old, live in a small village in the South of France, lost in the middle of the countryside. They kill their boredom in front of Call Of Duty, a famous war video game which they twitch their frantic games in front of a few rare Korean spectators. One day, however, a tragedy occurs; Jessica - their PlayStation 4 - gives up the ghost. To buy a new console, the two teenagers have an idea: Jordan will fake cancer and set up an online fund, abroad. Isolated from the world and cut off from reality, they are convinced that this virtual lie will never reach them. Neither in their village, nor at school, nor at home... Nor in the depths of their young and fragile convictions.
