Generation 14plus

Pompei

by Anna Falguères & John Shank

Belgium / France / Canada - 88’ - 2019

Swaggering with the coolness of James Dean, the members of a youthful gang exist in a world virtually without adults. Following their own rules, they search in the middle of nowhere for the artefacts of a lost civilisation, until the appearance of a young woman changes everything. A powerful story of liberation reminiscent of “Lord of the Flies”.
