Being 17
Strand ReleasingAcclaimed director André Téchiné's latest coming-of-age masterpiece is an intimate portrayal of the 17 year-old psyche. Thomas lives on the family farm and longs to be a veterinarian. His trip to school is a three-hour trek through a visually inspiring mountainside. In comparison, Damien lives with his doctor mother, while his father is stationed overseas as an army pilot. Their lives are thrown together when Damien's mom is called to aid Thomas' pregnant mother. When Damien's father invites Thomas to live with them temporarily, emotions surface in wildly different displays of unbridled passion.

- André Téchiné is the same wildly acclaimed French auteur behind The Witnesses, Rendez-Vous, Changing Times and the gay classic Wild Reeds.
