Les Dragons is a story of love at first sight between teenagers who are more normal than they seem. A declaration of love for the kids that our society hides from sight, but who say so much about us.

Jérôme is 15. He’s furious at his parents, who seem so old. At the world that rejects him. At the monsters that keep him awake at night. At himself above all. A judge has decided to commit him to a residential treatment center for teens.

That’s where he meets the dragons, the kids who have been destroyed by their families, school, or the times. One of them is Colette. Shaven head, lacerated arms, black-rimmed eyes.
She wants to die. He wants to hold her and kiss her. Take her far away from here.
