Set against the backdrop of the last days of the French-Algerian war and amidst the lush landscapes of Southern France, Wild Reeds is a coming-of-age saga looking at the sexual awakening of four teenagers. The quartet discovers sensual delights while grappling with inner conflict and political differences. Sensitive François and feminist-communist Maïté are in a somewhat stunted relationship, bonding over a mutual love for movies and rock'n'roll. However, when François meets Serge, a handsome muscular youth from the local farming community, he comes to acknowledge his latent homosexuality, while Maïté is seduced by Henri, a teenage exile whose political stance is in complete opposition to hers. A powerful take on adolescent sexuality and social turmoil, André Téchiné's Wild Reeds is a poignant, moving, and life-affirming expression of teenage angst and triumph.
