GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS

Girls will be girls / 2024 / India, France, USA, Norway / 118 min

Sixteen-year-old Mira, an ambitious and successful student at a strict boarding school, is slowly growing closer to an older classmate. Their initially cautious romance is soon dominated by sexual curiosity and desire, which the young couple must keep hidden from their teachers and Mira’s mother. An exceptionally sensitively shot and subtly acted film, Girls Will Be Girls portrays the fragile period of adolescence with humour, depth, and tenderness, making it an audience favourite at this year’s Sundance, where it ultimately took home the Audience Award.
