- DirectorAgnès MerletStarsLudovic VandendaeleEric da SilvaSandrine BlanckeBrothers Martin and Simon, not yet teens, are incorrigible vandals; Martin runs away from reform school, Simon from foster homes, and they always find each other in a seacoast town of Lignan, where their destructive behavior is infamous.
