Three teenage girls, inseparable friends since childhood, use a hidden phone to record a male classmate’s coercive behavior. But with the explosive video in their possession, they disagree over whether to share it on social media, and their seemingly invincible bond becomes threatened, bringing to light their differences in race, social class, and cultural privilege. This tense drama boasts a cast of promising newcomers, including Léah Aubert, Médina Diarra, and Salma Takaline, as well as Bérénice Bejo, the Cannes and Cesar award winner of The Past and The Artist. French-Moroccan director Nora El Hourch explains: “I drew from my own experience with sexual harassment to tell the story of a group of girls who, despite their differences, can get along and grow stronger together.”
“Wonderful...Showcasing enthusiasm for a common future from a female angle, this highly engaging film owes much to its three main actors, as well as to the director’s intelligent, well-channelled passion, making [director] El Hourch one to watch.” —CineEuropa
