Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Laurent meets Sylvia on a spring night, under the neon lights of the fun fair. A ray of sunlight shines in the life of a kid who rises up against the nasty influence of their educator Serge, who has an eye on him and his pals. But SyIvia gives him one night as a gift, and nothing more.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
