Eva Husson's "Bang Gang: A Modern Love Story" follows a group of French teens in Biarritz discovering their own sexuality. When his mother goes abroad for work, Alex (Finnegan Oldfield) organizes sex parties (bang gangs) at his house with other teens that include plenty of booze, drugs, and free love. George (Marilyn Lima) is an active participant at these parties, while her best friend Laetitia (Daisy Broom) isn't wild about George's involvement in the parties mostly because she's having sex with Alex. Meanwhile, the shy Gabriel (Lorenzo Lefèbvre) reluctantly attends the parties only to get close to George on whom he crushes. When news of the parties reaches the teens' parents, the teens have to deal with the reality of STDs, teen pregnancy, and explicit videos making their way onto the Internet.
