In 2014, the mini-series 3x Manon (also available on France Channel) explored the problems facing troubled teenagers. Manon, a strong but impetuous 15 year-old, is sentenced to six months in juvenile detention after seriously injuring her mother in a fit of rage. Manon 20 Years picks up the story a few years later, and the result is a hard-edged snapshot of a precarious generation. Manon, faithfully inhabited by Intouchables star Alba Gaïa Kraghede Bellugi, juggles passion and companionship in her love life while trying to deal with blatant sexism among her fellow mechanics at the repair shop. But trouble calls again after she reconnects with her mother, and goes looking for her father.
