Avoir 16 ans

Louis, a 16 year old high school student, writes and performs a play at his school. When the teachers see him smoking a joint on stage for one scene of the play, he is immediately sent to the office of Mr. Lagacé, the principal and punished for his creativity. At first Louis only exchanges harsh words with the administration, but soon escalates into action; he breaks into his school and in a rebellious gesture causes $2000 worth of damage through vandalism. He is quickly caught by the police who are overly brutal with him and his father very happily agrees to send Louis to a mental institution. Alone, without any rights or hope of escape, Louis is slowly molded into the person society wants him to be...
