Overview

Anaïs is twelve and bears the weight of the world on her shoulders. She watches her older sister, Elena, whom she both loves and hates. Elena is fifteen and devilishly beautiful. Neither more futile, nor more stupid than her younger sister, she cannot understand that she is merely an object of desire. And, as such, she can only be taken. Or had. Indeed, this is the subject: a girl's loss of virginity. And, that summer, it opens a door to tragedy.

How It Feels

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

A devastating meditation on adolescent vulnerability and the machinery of desire that traps young women, told through the fractured perspective of two sisters on a summer holiday that descends into tragedy. Bracing and unflinching, it refuses to soften its subject matter.
