Mercedes-Benz Award - DirectorCédric KahnStarsMalek BecharNaguime BendidiDidier BorgaWhat is beautiful about adolescence is that it is a time when everything is still possible.

Expelled from schools, spurned by lovers, confined by identity these youngsters just keep on running, frustrated and in flames. Lonely hearts, intoxicated by music and alcohol, by the heat of minds and bodies, burn to ashes.Award of the Youth
