Gardiennes

The film follows Acha and Myriam, two fifteen-year-old girls who feel trapped in their mundane lives within a social housing project. When they are asked by Sam, the leader of a local gang, to act as gardiennes, they eagerly accept, believing they are stepping into a thrilling world of drug deals. Their excitement, however, contrasts sharply with the realities of their situation.

The blend of drama and comedy provides a nuanced look at the challenges faced by youth in marginalized communities.
