Dear Prudence

Prudence Friedmann, 17, has lost her mother a few days ago. Alone and adrift in the family flat, Prudence meets Marilyne, a high school misfit who introduces her to the illegal circuit of Rungis, greater Paris. There, in the deserted wholesale market, souped-up mopeds and muscle bikes race against each other, undaunted by danger. Fascinated by Reynald, Franck and the other guys from the Rungis clique, Prudence tries to find a place for herself by passing off her loneliness as freedom. –Semaine de la critique
