There is much to admire about a dreamy French coming-of-age fantasy drama that centres on the impending demolition of a rundown housing project on the outskirts of Paris. The story’s told from the perspective of space-obsessed Black teenager Youri (Alseni Bathily) who, together with pals Diana (Lyna Khoudri) and Houssam (Jamil McCraven), embarks on an imagination-fuelled plan to save the housing project. First-timer Bathily is superb, while directors Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh layer in magical realism, social commentary, an ice-cool soundtrack and beautifully realised relationships between.
