The Worst Ones

'The Worst Ones' is a film directed by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret, belonging to the drama genre and produced in France. The plot is set in the humble neighborhood of Boulogne-Sur-Mer, in the north of France, where the filming of a film is about to begin. Four teenagers from the neighborhood have been selected to be part of the cast, which surprises the entire community that did not expect the election of these young people, considered by many as "the worst."

The script was written by Lise Akoka, Romane Gueret and Elénore Gurrey. The cast includes Johan Heldenbergh, Matthias Jacquin, Loïc Pech and Mallory Wanecques. The film has a duration of 96 minutes and offers a healthy, fresh and endearing deconstruction of social cinema, exploring the lives and hopes of young people in disadvantaged contexts.

The casting of non-professional actors from the neighborhood adds a layer of authenticity and realism to the film, highlighting the ability of these young people to convey deep and truthful emotions. 'The Worst Ones' not only challenges perceptions about talent and opportunity, but also offers an intimate and honest look at life on the margins of society, inviting audiences to reflect on prejudices and the second chances.

Distributed by Flamingo Films, 'The Worst Ones' will be released on June 7, 2024.
