Sweet Girls

2015 · 103 min

A wry, bittersweet coming-of-age comedy that turns youthful frustration into a mischievous, thoughtful rebellion.

Tagline
One city. Two girls. The revolution!
Overview
Elodie and Marie, two teenage girls in a city where the housing crisis worsens by the day, are faced with a lack of prospects offered by the future, and see their chances of independence gradually disappearing. Elodie and Marie suggest a solution more extreme than not; empty apartments unjustly occupied by the "old" that, in their eyes, are the origin of the current social imbalance. In this journey through the initiatory path of adolescence, they discover that behind their cold calculations, human beings are just as lost they are.
