Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Joan is a committed, warm-hearted social worker and psychotherapist who works with troubled teenagers. Most of her clients are boys from ethnic minorities who came under police sanction due to a multitude of reasons varying from skipping class and shoplifting to theft and abuse. The film follows Joan as she attempts to help two of these boys -15-year-old Moroccan twins Alaa and Adil - to get back on track. The twins drop out from school, play violent video games all day and fight each other about who can hold the PlayStation controller. In the midst of one of their fights, they accidentally hit their mother who falls unconscious from the blow. The boys are taken into custody and it is Joan's aim to aid the boys in their complicated situation.
