Girlhood

Original title: Bande de filles

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

Directed by Céline Sciamma

Oppressed by her family setting, dead-end school prospects and the boys law in the neighborhood, Marieme starts a new life after meeting a group of three free-spirited girls. She changes her name, her dress code, and quits school to be accepted in the gang, hoping that this will be a way to freedom.
