| Actors: | Clara Augarde, Michel Galabru, Stefano Cassetti, Thierry Neuvic, Youen Leboulanger-Gourvil |
Teenaged Anna comes home from her Catholic boarding school to discover that her father has left. Her mother, devastated, has confined herself in the company of the local priest, while Anna clings to her beloved grandfather. Amidst her grief, Anna also grows close to Pierre, a free-spirited - and atheist - teenager. As Anna prepares for her confirmation, her budding desire for Pierre shakes her faith. She longs to give herself over, body and soul, but doesn't know if God should be the recipient or someone else...
With its languid camera sensuously soaking up the beauty of Brittany's countryside, Love Like Poison marks the arrival of newcomer Katell Quillevere as a powerful filmmaking force.

The young actors were not too good at acting while the storyline was quite boring. A slow French movie about a young teenager questioning her identity as many teens do. Not to watch with kids!
