    • Growing up in a less well-off area of Paris, 19-year-old Shai and Djeneba have always been inseparable. For one summer, the two headstrong girls escape their tower blocks to work at a summer camp in the southeast of France, where they attempt to supervise an unruly tribe of exasperating, unique and endearing kids. Their adventure will put the girls' friendship to the test and reshuffle the cards of their dreams and desires, prompting them to reconsider what the future holds.
