An adolescent girl constantly alternating between the curious world of a child and the sophisticated realm of womanhood explores Paris and experiences the poignant pangs of growing up in director Charles Belmont's and seventeen-year old screenwriter/star Salome Blechmans' screen adaptation of Blechman's own book Le journal de bèbè. Bethsabèe Pasolini (Blechman) is a student at Claude Monet lycèe in Paris. Nicknamed Bèbè by her friends, the burgeoning young woman isn't quite prepared to take flight on her own, but can't help but feeling that she is about to move on to bigger things. Now, in between fleeting moments of flirtation with the opposite sex, treasured time spent with her family, and playful moments with close friends, the inquisitive girl with a vivid imagination finally begins to shed her first skin. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This French drama, set in 1986, focuses upon the friendship between two Arab boys, one a normal boy raised in France, and the other a trained assassin on a mission for the fundamentalist organization that trained him. Laid has been indoctrinated and trained in a secret guerrilla training camp. Though only eleven, he is more a holy warrior than he is a little boy. Because he is so serious and calm, Laid is chosen to perform an assassination in Paris. Though he speaks fluent French, he needs to know more about how little French boys behave. Karim, who was raised in Paris, is forcibly borrowed from his father. Karim is the antithesis of Laid. He is fun loving, Westernized, and enthusiastic. Laid is intrigued and they become friends. The friendship changes history when the assassination plan fails in a surprising way. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
