Déter: The series that overturns clichés about rural youth!

A refreshing dive into the rural and educational environment

The new series of France.tv , Déter, is mainly aimed at 15-25 year olds and immerses us in the heart of an agricultural high school. Despite the constraints linked to the short format of the episodes, this work offers a good solid and realistic representation of the life of adolescents in a rural context. Furthermore, compared to other French television series, it demonstrates an interesting originality.

Indeed, far from the usual clichés, Déter represents one of the rare examples of French television fiction featuring adolescents from the rural world. Very often, youth is portrayed in an urban context or through local thrillers. Thus, with this new creation, France.tv continues its bold bet, after having addressed the themes of suburban youth in Skam.

A series filmed entirely in Brittany, with local actors

Déter was entirely filmed in Brittany, particularly around Vitré, where his fictional high school Anjela Duval is located. This location gives the work a real immersion in this rural world tinged with humor and ecological concerns. In addition, this series calls on a large number of local actors and speakers, further strengthening its regional roots.

The realism of this fiction also emanates from the large number of episodes that compose it. In fact, no less than 200 episodes are intended to offer viewers a complete vision of the events that occur within this very special school establishment.

Themes resonating with adolescents

The series addresses the daily life of four final year students, Elsa, Lia, Medhi and Chloé, who will be confronted with the arrival of a new student determined to find out what happened to his best friend. The different plots thus deal with humor and lightness of the issues specific to the agricultural world, while endeavoring to faithfully reflect the reality of these rural youth.

A successful preview and first positive reviews

The general public was able to discover Déter during a preview organized in Vitré, October 2, 2023. The feedback was very favorable, notably mentioning the humor present from the first minutes and the balance between the treatment of school subjects and that of questions linked to agriculture or the environment .

• Current and relatable stories: The protagonists face very real issues, such as friendship, love, career choices and questions specific to this period of life.
• Endearing characters: The young actors who play them bring real authenticity to the roles they play, which makes the plot all the more gripping.
• Good representation of an agricultural world in transition: Through the different adventures of the students of Anjela Duval high school, the contemporary rural world is presented in its daily realities and its challenges, without ever falling into a caricature or condescending register.

In short, with Déter, France.tv offers an original, entertaining series that is faithful to the reality of young people living in rural areas. Available since October 3 on YouTube and France.tv, it already promises great success with viewers who are fond of authentic and engaged stories!
