And their children after them

Mathieu, Nicolas, 1978-

Synopsis:

Heillange, near France's border with Luxembourg, is a town in decline, left for dead when its metalworks shut its doors and disgorged its employees out onto the street. Against this backdrop, we follow the anomic lives of the town's teenaged children: Anthony, son of an alcoholic father and thwarted mother; Stéphanie, aimless daughter of wealthy parents; and Hacine, drug-dealing son of a hard-working North African immigrant father.
