| More Information |
| Details: |
A small boarding school in the south of France is the setting for WILD REEDS, where four friends come of age in 1962. As the Algerian war rages in Northern Africa, Francois faces his homosexuality after an encounter with Serge, who is facing his own crisis, having lost a brother to the war. Mditi fights off a confusing attraction to ultraconservative Henri, despite her communist upbringing. Small-town friendships are used as compelling metaphors against the larger backdrop of 1960s idealism and political unrest. The personal becomes the political as Francois, Mditi, Serge, and Henri come to realize their identities and cherish their friendships. |
