The Vanquished
Drama
A trilogy of stories of well-off youths who commit murders. In the French episode, a group of high school students kill one of their colleagues for his money. In the Italian episode, a university student's involved in smuggling cigarettes. In the English episode, a lazy poet finds the body of a woman on the downs, and tries to sell his story to the press.
VIBE
A chillingly detached exploration of privileged youth and their moral decay. It’s a stark, often unsettling look at ennui and the casual cruelty that can bloom in the absence of consequence, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
