For a shoot in Boulogne-sur-Mer, a director seeks his actors in the Picasso estate: he ends up setting his sights on four children considered the worst in the neighborhood.
Very quickly, their doubts and their faults interfere in the life of the shooting and their characters.
A documentary-like fiction,
Les Pires
is a multiple film but never messy, between a learning story and a dive behind the scenes of cinema.

Get to know each other better
Does acting help you discover yourself better?
Is a director who manipulates unmanageable children to get what he needs to be condemned?
Doesn't showing difficult “kids” add to the stigma?
The first feature film by Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret broaches these questions with intelligence and subtlety, without ever forgetting to let the emotion arise.
Which is overwhelming in the eyes of Timéo Mahaut and Mallory Wanecque, the apprentice actors who respectively play an unhappy kid with contained anger and a teenager, who, suffering from the disappearance of his brother and his reputation, takes him under his wing.
A pure marvel rewarded with the Un certain regard prize at Cannes.
