Synopsis

Since she finished high-school, Laïs Decaster has been recording the everyday life of her close-knit group of girlfriends. Over the years, the friends confide in one another in front of Laïs’ camera on topics like love, family and sexuality, as well as their studies and entry into the adult world.

Our take

Staying close to her high-school friend group, Laïs Decaster’s luminous film gently observes the nervy excitement of young adulthood, which comes with both emotional highs and life uncertainties. A nostalgic look at the halcyon days of teenage carefreeness that shows all the marks of a rising star.
