The Workshop (L'atelier)
Successful novelist Olivia Dejazet (Marina Fois) agrees to host a writing workshop over the summer for teenagers living in the ailing port town of La Ciotat near Marseille. She encourages participants to draw upon their personal stories and the history of the town to create a thriller for publication. At first the culturally and economically diverse teenagers trade ideas about characters and scenarios for their book. Olivia is inextricably drawn to one boy, Antoine (Matthieu Lucci), who demonstrates a penchant for wanton violence in his writing. She begins to investigate the young man and uncovers evidence that he watches right-wing videos and is inspired by their destructive messages. As the workshop continues, Olivia is both fearful of and fascinated by Antoine and his capacity for chaos.
