In France, Rallyes are parties for teenagers from upper-class. Young people, well dressed, dance together, drink, try to seduce themselves. They play a character as their education learn them to be. I decided to focus on the body language to show how this moment is ambiguous. The kids are such alive and as the same time so mimetic of their class. Free to be young, and reproducing all the rules of their world in simple gestures.
