How to Make Out
Directed by Adeline Picault
Produced by Pathé, Scarlett Production
A lighthearted coming-of-age comedy about teenage awkwardness and first crushes, built on ensemble camaraderie and the fumbling discovery of romance.
Arthur, 15, has a crush on Ouassima, who does not even look at him... While he has never been upset, she goes out with Matt, the handsome kid from college. To get closer to her, Arthur gathers a group of single losers and offers to give them lessons in fishing, at 10 euros per lesson. In the changing rooms of the swimming pool, a long intimate and collective learning begins on "girls and love: instructions for use".
