SYNOPSIS
In 2002, in the fall of their 16th year, Maxime, Guérin and J-P find the recipe for a pipe bomb on the Internet. When Guérin decides to build it in his parents’ shed, Maxime volunteers to help. But the bomb isn’t his main concern. He rather sees it as an opportunity to get closer to Guérin’s older sister, the intriguing Joëlle.
