Sixteen

Nora and Léo, 16, live in the same town, in the same suburbs, go to the same highschool, but everything opposes them: their social backgrounds, their families religions, their everyday lives. Yet, they fall in love at first sight. But from a theft accusation bringing into conflict their respective families, their love story will have to face a series of trials and dramas.

Directed by Philippe Lioret, Sixteen leans on a strong ensemble — Sabrina Levoye, Teïlo Azaïs, Nassim Lyes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
