Remixing Romeo and Juliet for the Instagram generation,
Marion Desseigne-Ravel’s debut feature is an engrossing
and touching tale of first love.
It’s summertime in Paris and Nedjma is spending her days drifting
between the local community centre and hanging out with her
squad, who are planning a much-anticipated trip to the beach.
However, everything changes when her path collides with Zina,
the newly arrived cousin of the leader of a rival squad.
Nedjima
and Zina are destined to be mortal enemies. But through a shared
love of music and an instant spark, a very different relationship
begins to brew. Will Nedjima’s loyalties ultimately lie with her
squad or her first love?
With characters that are first-generation
children of immigrants inhabiting a Paris council estate, Besties is
a fresh coming-of-age story focusing on teen girls whose stories
are rarely told in queer cinema.
