Synopsis
Minamahal
An introverted high school flower enthusiast tries to win the affection of a love-hating visual artist by giving her flowers during key moments of her life. The movie follows their on-and-off friendship and romance from high school up until college, when the realities of life begin to unfold.
Water Lilies
Set during a sultry summer in a French suburb, Marie is desperate to join the local pool's synchronized swimming team, but is her interest solely for the sake of sport or for a chance to get close to Floriane, the bad girl of the team? Sciamma, and the two leads, capture the uncertainty of teenage sexuality with a sympathetic eye in this delicate drama of the angst of coming-of-age.
