SYNOPSIS: What goes down in a day? A lot, it seems, when you’re a teenager coming of age in inner-city Montreal. As seven friends prepare for their last high school dance, they are swept up by a frenzied series of events that pits their hopes for the future against addiction, family dysfunction and violence. With remarkable strength and humour, the no-nonsense characters confront the realities of their late-adolescence and come out renewed. If the fast-paced story seems achingly real, it is because it was written by the young members of the filmmaking collective themselves drawing upon experiences that are close to home. The result is a thrilling feature with the “from-the-hip” grit of a documentary — a rare achievement for a teen drama.
