Fat Girl

• Drama

A sun-drenched yet deeply unsettling drama unfolds during one French summer, meticulously observing the fractured dynamic between two sisters as the older, Elena, navigates a devastating loss of innocence. The film doesn't center on the act itself, but rather on the quiet, agonizing weight borne by twelve-year-old Anaïs, whose adoration and resentment of Elena are irrevocably altered by the aftermath. It’s a strikingly unsentimental portrayal of burgeoning female sexuality, not as liberation, but as vulnerability within a predatory gaze, presented with a hypnotic, detached observation that amplifies the emotional impact. Beyond exploring the trauma of sexual assault, the film subtly unpacks the complexities of female competition and the agonizing helplessness of witnessing a loved one’s suffering, presenting a uniquely melancholic and contemplative perspective on childhood's end.
