Luna is a film about the choices we have in life, and the importance of making the right ones!

Sixteen-year-old Luna (luminous newcomer Laëtitia Clément) is beautiful, funny and a happy-go-lucky kind of girl. She just earned her vocational training certificate in horticulture and works on a farm in the south of France, near Montpellier. She also hangs out with a group of friends and is head-over-heels in love with their leader, bad boy Ruben. For him, she would do anything. She steals a puppy for his birthday, and, during Ruben's drunken party, she participates in the gratuitous and brutal assault on Alex (the adorable Rod Paradot, Standing Tall - SFFF 2016) a young graffiti artist and trumpeter who is a stranger to them all.

A few weeks later, Alex reappears in Luna’s life, without seeming to recognize her, giving her a chance to redeem and free herself from the mistakes of her past...

Elsa Diringer’s sensitive first feature delves into the question of violence in our culture, individual responsibility in the face of heinous collective behavior, and second chances.

Shown with SACCAGE by Alexandre Boesch-Brassens, Jonathan Breuer, Julie Mansuy, Nicolas Ocipski, Paul Gaulier, Samuel Ramamisoa, Sylvain Masson, William Rima.
