At age 17, Eglantine is troubled by a number of things. Her argumentative parents comprise an absentee and philandering father and an overprotective, occasionally alcoholic mother. Her boyfriend Sébastien is a couple of years older; he's ready, but she isn't. Frequent furtive visits to her therapist help her to see that these issues are not 'problems', but 'difficulties', which she has the strength to overcome.

VIBE

A tender, introspective journey through the awkwardness of adolescence. It feels like a quiet conversation with a wise friend, exploring the messy realities of growing up with gentle honesty and a touch of melancholy.
