Synopsis
The nearly 17-year-old Prudence Friedman (Léa Seydoux) is struggling to cope with her mother’s death and her father, similarly upset, has now been in Canada much longer than the 48 hours it should’ve taken to settle his client’s inheritance. Over the phone, Prudence keeps up the pretence that she and her sister are living together in the family apartment but, in reality, Frédérique has moved out, unable to handle the painful memories of their mother’s death there.Actors

Twelve-year-old Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein) lives with his older sister Louise (Léa Seydoux) in a housing complex below a luxury Swiss ski resort. Despite his age, he supports both him and his sister by stealing equipment from the resort, refurbishing them to look new before reselling them to children at a discounted price. Though he makes a substantial sum of money through these sales, he spends most of it on Louise, buying her clothes and giving her money so that she can go on dates. Louise is selfish and irresponsible, unable to hold down a job and frequently going off with men, leaving Simon alone at home. Though Simon tries to teach her how to refurbish the skis, she leaves with Bruno (Yann Trégouët) on a short vacation.

Adèle is an introverted 15-year-old high-school student whose classmates gossip constantly about boys. While crossing the street one day, she passes by a woman with short blue hair and is instantly attracted. She dates a boy at her school for a short while and they have sex, but she is ultimately dissatisfied and breaks off their relationship. After having vivid fantasies about the woman she saw on the street and having one of her female friends behave flirtatiously towards her, she becomes troubled about her sexual identity. One friend, the openly gay Valentin, seems to understand her confusion and takes her to a gay dance bar. After some time, Adèle leaves and walks into a lesbian bar, where she experiences assertive advances from some of the women. The blue haired woman is also there and intervenes, claiming Adèle is her cousin to those pursuing Adèle. The woman is Emma, a graduating art student. They become friends and begin to spend more time with each other. Adèle's friends suspect her of being a lesbian and ostracise her at school. Despite the backlash, she becomes very close to Emma. Their bond increases and before long, the two share a kiss at a picnic. They later have sex and begin a passionate relationship. Emma's artsy family is very welcoming to the couple, but Adèle tells her conservative, working-class parents that Emma is just a tutor for philosophy class.

Adama (Balamine Guirassy) est un adolescent de 14 ans. Il vit avec sa mère, Fatou (Léontina Fall), dans un petit deux-pièces en banlieue parisienne. Originaire du Sénégal, Adama n'a jamais mis les pieds en Afrique. À la maison, il doit pourtant jongler entre le poids des traditions et la loi française.

Le père ne peut assumer deux loyers pour les deux appartements. Analphabète et livrée à elle-même, Fatou enchaîne les ménages en intérim et les horaires de nuit.

Fatou vit dans l'attente du retour de son fils aîné, Djibril (Idrissa Diabaté). Le jeune homme a été renvoyé "au bled" par le père de famille, pour le punir avoir fréquenté les dealers du quartier.
