Part of the Céline Sciamma: Playing with Fire Season
16-year-old Marieme (newcomer Karidja Touré) lives in the projects of a Paris suburb with her younger siblings. Life isn’t easy for her: she is struggling at school, and suffers at the hands of her abusive brother and largely absent mother. One day on the way home from school she has an encounter with three local girls and ends up joining their gang. This is a powerful and sensitive female coming-of-age portrait set in the world of urban, black youth.
