LOL

Director: Lisa Azuelos
Actors: Sophie Marceau / F. Fabian / J. Quivrin / C. Theret

CÉSAR NOMINATION! Best Breakthrough Performance, Actress (Christa Theret)

Twenty-five years after creating the teenage rebel Vic in La Boum, Sophie Marceau once again delights in LOL, as the exasperated mother of an adolescent girl who shares her search for meaning in both life and love.

In text messaging, LOL means "Laughing Out Loud", but here it's also the nickname of 14-year-old Lola, who is returning to school after summer break. It's no laughing matter for her though when her boyfriend reveals that he has cheated on her over summer, leading her to hesitantly move on to his best friend Mael. Meanwhile her divorced mother Anne is secretly again seeing her father...

In a world of virtual communication, faceless technologies, and oblivious parents, LOL is a tongue-in-cheek take on female self-perception and relationships. Featuring an irresistible, jaw-droppingly handsome cast, a hit soundtrack and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, this finely sketched new comedy from Lisa Azuelos ("Hey Good Looking!") was one of the feel-great smash hits of the year with nearly four million admissions achieved at the French box office.
