Esther is 17. No longer at school and detached from her family, she makes both ends meet doing small jobs in the south of France. One summer she falls for Jean, ready to do anything to please him. She decides to find him back in Paris and starts a journey in a big city where she knows no one. Receiving shelter from nuns in a convent, she discovers a different kind of devotion. She is in for an intense and romantic journey.
This first feature film directed by Anna Cazenave Cambet was unveiled under the Cannes 2020 Critics’ Week Label. Delegate General, Charles Tesson, describes a “disconcerting, unpredictable film; a coming of age tale, of sorts, about a young woman who, in her desire to be the object of others’ lust, discovers who she is and builds her identity. It’s a brilliant film with an incredible actress, Tallulah Cassavetti, in the lead role.” (source: Cineuropa.org).
