Oversexed Parisian teenagers create havoc. Privileged and bored, the cast of beautiful young people are selling themselves for sex when not skateboarding the streets of Paris. Some of the sessions are filmed.

The old man we see in a comatose state at the beginning of the film is none other than the director – almost 20 years since he stunned the world with his masterful debut Kids.

“…some will claim that Clark is exploiting his subjects (this project had a notoriously rocky production, alienating some of the original cast, covered in detail by the French press), though the pic is far from pornographic.” VARIETY
