Les pires

A film crew sets up in a disadvantaged suburb of Boulogne-sur-Mer. At the end of the casting, the inhabitants are stunned: the four teenagers selected to play the leading roles are considered to be the bad lot in the suburb. Lily, Maylis, Jessy and Ryan, the happy chosen ones, cannot believe it themselves.
