Overview

Lili, a pouty and voluptuous 14-year-old, is caravan camping with her family in Biarritz. She's self-aware and holds her own in a café conversation with a concert pianist she meets, but she has a wild streak and she's testing her powers over men, finding that she doesn't always control her moods or actions, and she's impatient with being a virgin. She sets off with her brother to a disco, latching onto an aging playboy who is himself hot and cold to her. She is ambivalent about losing her virginity that night, willing the next, and determined by the third.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A provoc­ative portrait of adolescent restlessness and sexual awakening that observes without judgment, capturing the volatile mood swings and contradictory impulses of a girl testing her power over the adults around her. It's uncomfortable and intimate in equal measure, refusing easy moral clarity.
