A serious crime finds a young girl facing a severe penalty, but her unwillingness to talk suggests what took place is far more complex.
When Sixteen-year-old Lise is accused of murdering her best friend, the impending case tests the loyalty of her family and those around her. However, once the trial starts, her secret life begins to unfold and the plot thickens, calling into question how well we really know the ones we love. What follows is a gripping courtroom procedural that forensically probes the anatomy of a trial, posing questions about how society judges young women inside and outside the courtroom. Featuring an enigmatic breakthrough performance by newcomer Melissa Guers, writer-director Stephane Demoustier’s drama is a smart combination of courtroom whodunnit and coming-of-age tale.
