content

On her 16th birthday, Catherine, who lives in Quebec, receives a yellow CD player , the book We Children from Zoo Station , and she can now go to the mall. On this day, her father purposely drives her mother's jeep into a wall. Catherine is living through her adolescence when her parents' divorce process begins. But the young person is mainly busy keeping Mélanie Belley at bay, who is terrorizing her for no reason. When she teases her friend Pascal, Catherine gains status in the group. She is eager to learn everything, but her journey of discovery is neither gentle nor romantic. The first fall in love, the first sex: after Pascal comes Kevin. A turning point in her life is looming: her new clique brings her into contact with mescaline , which soon determines her life, and she continues to slide away. In a drug frenzy, she frees herself from the verbally and emotionally brutal arguments of her parents. In the violent chaos of the Canadian province of the 1990s, the grunge era, she comes of age. Punk rock , Kurt Cobain's suicide and the look of Mia Wallace are closely related to the young people's attempts to free themselves.
