Overview

Set during a sultry summer in a French suburb, Marie is desperate to join the local pool's synchronized swimming team, but is her interest solely for the sake of sport or for a chance to get close to Floriane, the bad girl of the team? Sciamma, and the two leads, capture the uncertainty of teenage sexuality with a sympathetic eye in this delicate drama of the angst of coming-of-age.

How It Feels

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

A luminous, quietly aching portrait of desire and self-discovery during one hot suburban summer. Sciamma's camera finds poetry in the everyday, chlorine, skin, longing, as a teenage girl navigates the confusing tangle of admiration, sexuality, and belonging.
