Reusss

The graduation results have been published, kicking off the vacation for Hanane, Maïssa and Ambre — three besties who grew up in the same projects. This summer is all about first loves, plans for the future and breaking into adulthood. But when Hanane’s brother Djamel is attacked and found unconscious, the three girlfriends have no choice but to investigate. Grappling with flaky boyfriends, overwhelmed parents and ticked off dealers, Hanane, Maïssa and Ambre will have to rely on their friendship more than ever.

Our take

Inventive and joyful, Reusss is all about the outspokenness of René Clair and the magical cinema of Jacques Demy, while honoring the contemporary music scene. Working in the genre of pastiche, and set under the bright skies of the town of Sète, the series is representative of the dreams, disappointments and ingenuity of a new generation of artists. It is also a welcome reminder of the French expertise in the field of musicals, opening new opportunities for French productions.
