In meno di cinque minuti e mezzo, Mohamed & Theo (Mohamed Chabane e Théo Jourdain) condensano tutta l’intensità di un coming of age. Sulle note di Ocean di Else, raccontano di un fratello maggiore, un po’ pazzo e ribelle, che nel giorno del suo compleanno rivela al più piccolo, anche lui indisciplinato (lo scopriamo in punizione a inizio video), qualcosa di importante sulla vita. Ma sullo sfondo di questo classico intreccio di genere, c’è molto altro, calato com’è in uno scenario fantascientifico e distopico, da cui emergono il tema ambientale e migratorio.
