Mauvaises Herbes, Kheiron's second feature film, will be availableon Netflix from June 21, 2023. The director of Nous trois ou rien proposes us this time to be interested ineducation in a comedy in which he shares the star with Catherine Deneuve and André Dussollier.
Kheiron explains: "I wanted to address themes that are close to my heart, such as redemption, communication or the chance to welcome people from far away to France, who enrich our culture.
And for more authenticity, his film is inspired by real facts:"I mostly started from a subject I know. The six children in the film are authentic cases, either that I observed as an educator, or that my colleagues told me about, or that happened to people I know when they were teenagers."
Waël, a former street kid, makes a living in the Paris suburbs by running small scams with Monique, a retired woman who obviously cares deeply for him.
His life takes a turn when a friend of Monique's, Victor, offers him, at Monique's insistence, a small volunteer job in her center for children excluded from the school system.
Waël gradually finds himself in charge of a group of six teenagers who have been expelled for truancy, insolence or even carrying a weapon.
From this explosive encounter between "weeds" a real miracle is born.
