The Magnet

A melancholic portrait of friendship and carefree youth in a Marseille neighborhood, where the environment itself becomes an inescapable force pulling toward inevitable tragedy.

But the neighborhood is an inescapable presence. Over a period of a few summer days, their carefree lives will plunge into a predictable tragedy.
