After Procès Goldman, Cédric Kahn dives into the daily life of an adolescent care unit with 15/18, currently in theatres. Lucia, 17, is taken by police to a unit where patients are between 15 and 18; there she meets her friend Eloïse and other youths with varied backgrounds. The film blends fiction and documentary, letting the viewer sway between realism and drama. The arrival of the mysterious Enzo disturbs this fragile balance. According to AlloCiné, the film holds an average of 3.7 out of 5, based on 100 ratings and 20 reviews. Audiences note the sincerity of the ensemble narrative, the tribute to teenagers and caregivers, and a staging that retains the codes of reality.
