Smash

With Smash, Daniel Lemire turns a gaze that is both realistic and humorous on the people of his generation. In a rapid-fire, deadpan style, he draws the portrait of four old pals who all met some 25 years earlier in a youth hostel. They go through their mid-40s together, still held together by frank talk and affection, along with a weekly tennis game. The series paints an ironic fresco that dares to make fun of a generation that wanted to change the world…but as things turned out, it was the world that changed them.
