Nenette and Boni

“Grégoire Colin and Alice Houri play brother and sister, products of a broken home. Colin plays nineteen-year-old Boni, a sex-starved pizza worker whose estranged fifteen-year-old sister Nenette is trapped in a boarding school and seven months pregnant with a child she doesn’t want. When Nenette finally winds up on her brother’s doorstep, the two warily embark on an unsentimental journey of the spirit that leads them to an unexpected conclusion.”
