WHY WE LOVE IT
Awarded in Berlinale Generation (like THE QUIET GIRL the previous year), renowned short film director Jenna Hasse makes her feature debut with this delicate story that echoes the first Celine Sciamma’s works. Tender French speaking first feature film starring Melanie Doutey (THE CONNECTION, SINK OR SWIN) and new comer Clarisse Moussa.
