Girlhood

“You don't have the full story. Until you know hers.”

Marieme (Karidja Touré) lives in a rough neighbourhood on the outskirts of Paris, where school offers her little and the boys set the rules. Céline Sciamma follows her after she meets three free-spirited girls, led by Lady (Assa Sylla), and starts changing her name, her clothes and her days to be let into the group. She has quit school for them, and she is betting everything on this being the way out.
