"Being 17" is a moving exploration of adolescent sexual awakening from renowned French director Andre Techine ("Wild Reeds") with a script he co-wrote with director Celine Sciamma ("Girlhood"). Damien and Thomas are French teenagers from very different upbringings who go to the same high school but can't stand each other. When circumstances bring Damien's mother Marianne (played by Sandrine Kiberlain) to invite Thomas to live with them, the young men are forced to coexist and work through their emerging attraction and complicated desires.
