Three teenagers are shaken up by their first loves in the turmoil of their youth in GENÈSE, which chronicles the life of young Felix (Édouard Tremblay-Grenier), and two Quebecois teen siblings, Guillaume (Théodore Pellerin) and Charlotte (Noée Abita). While the charismatic, Salinger-reading Guillaume wrestles with his sexual identity at his all-boys boarding school, the more ostensibly grown-up Charlotte discovers the casual cruelty of the adult world that awaits her post-graduation. Director Philippe Lesage and his young actors depict the aches of becoming oneself with nuance, honesty, and compassion, and the result is one of the most beautiful coming-of-age stories in years.
