At the movies: Young and Beautiful

The story contained in this hard-hitting, French-language drama revolves around a 17-year-old girl from a well-off family who lives with her kid brother (Fantin Ravat), mother (Geraldine Pailhas) and stepfather (Frederic Pierrot).

Like every teenager, Isabelle (Marine Vacth) has secrets that she keeps hidden from her family.

But while other teens experiment with cigarettes and drugs, Isabelle takes up prostitution.

Through many twists, the story is divided into four seasons – starting in summer at the family vacation villa, then moving to Paris as Isabelle gradually becomes more entrenched in her dangerous, shrouded new life.
